Palestinian Activist in NYC Calls for Dogs to be Banned as "Indoor Pets" -- No Longer Permitted Inside People's Private Apartments -- Because They are "Unislamic" and "Dirty"

You have no idea how long it took me to find this article, because Google is deliberately suppressing it. Google only returns hits about Florida Congressman Randy Fine facing a "backlash" for saying about Muslims, if you make us choose between dogs and Muslims, the choice is easy, we'll choose dogs.

Google will absolutely not let you find the story that prompted his comment. It's pretty hard to find it on X, requiring you to write out the exact headline.

But it's true, the never-ending cultural imperialism of the Umma now wants you to give up your dogs.

Here's what this vicious Colonizer and advisor to Zohran Mamdani said:

nerdeenhatesdogs.jpg


A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic.

Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.'

'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X.

After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'.

'[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something,' she wrote.

'It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you're not cleaning it.

'Also clearly trying to weigh in on an issue unaware of the current NYC discourse where we're collectively (jokingly) hating on dogs given all the visible dog s**t in the unmelted snow.'

Muslims typically do not keep dogs as pets as many believers feel they are meant to be used for work such as herding or hunting.



This is not a new story: Muslims have been demanding a ban on dogs in the Western countries they colonize for years.


More from David Strom.

The rabid Gaza propagandist and caller-for-the-destruction-of-Israel took the chance to spit up more propaganda about the Gaza Dog Genocide:

The Colonizer now offers three completely contradictory defenses: In some posts, she says she was just "joking" and now all the "Zionists" are upset, which was her intention.

But she also claims this is all very serious, because "conversations" to ban dogs are already occurring in the government.

Some people are rewriting the timeline around the "dog discourse," so here are the actual receipts.

I did not start this conversation. I stepped into one that NYC politicians, media, and thousands of residents were already having.

So is it a joke, or a serious policy initiative?


In the below post, she says she was serious, but only because she doesn't want these magnificent creatures locked up in tiny apartments, but roaming free on the city streets as they do in shithole Muslim countries.

People replying with dog pics like it’s supposed to upset me. Meanwhile those pics are fitting my spirits bc I think they’re adorable. All I was saying is they deserve better than a life confined to a tiny apartment w/ scheduled bathroom breaks on sidewalks.

If anything, sounds like I care more about their quality of life than the people using them as a gotcha.

2/16/26 - On Dogs And Those Who Hate Them

Some of us have lived in Muslim countries and understand how they treat dogs, @jaketapper. During one of my deployments, we had to inform the locals, in no uncertain terms, that no, they would not conduct their annual dog cull. In other words, they were not going to go out and kill every stray dog they could find. And they wisely complied.

Your fake fussy outrage doesn't overcome what we saw.

I expect there are some Muslims who don't consider dogs haram and who are willing to treat dogs in the manner of civilized people. That doesn't mean that's not a tenet of faith for a significant portion of Muslims. A significant number of Muslims hate dogs. And, in fact, some Muslims who have come to the West have demanded that we accommodate their bigotry against these wonderful creatures.

So, no. I'm not going to accommodate anyone who dislikes dogs for any reason. My dogs are more important than people who hate or dislike dogs. If you think that makes me a bad person or a bigot, I am completely indifferent to your opinion.

This is not open to debate. We're going to keep our dogs as we always have. If you come to our civilization, you're going to respect our pets, or there's going to be trouble. John Wick is the moderate position on this issue.

Fellow vets, feel free to share your dog stories from the Muslim world for the benefit of @jaketapper and others who want to shame you into submission.

I'm starting to get the impression that Islam's only approved emotional outlet is Murder because 99% of every Muslim's day is trying to hide that Muhammad spent most of his life buttfucking or getting buttfucked (hello, there, Night of Al-Zutt).

44 You have AOC talking about a wealth tax. Why? - because she was told that is the next step by the WEF or whomever. Same as she was told to push the green newd eal.

Well you also have a big push to remove dogs from the West. To "accommodate" these barbarians. The Home Office in UK is pushing to reduce dogs and pubs in the rural districts. This is a coordinated push, and the next step in their slow boil conquest.

There will be push back, but will we send them all back to their sand hill peninsula? No, not yet. Soon. When will we realize it is coordinated.

45 One of the questions that isn't being asked here is why are lefties so keen on making accommodations for Muslims when their stock answer to Christians concerned about things the government/FNM/mass society does is to tell us to FO.

And the answer, in part, is that Christians do just FO. Muslims though? "He responds with a full beheading gesture pointed right at the pup. "

ehhhh not really

Chows are for instance very happy in the city. They are pretty non-athletic and very clean. Two walks a day and to do their business and they're good. They don't jump and aren't huge on running. (they can still tear the face of a slapping Muslim)

When I was living in town a guy in our building had Irish Wolfhounds! They were just couch potatoes! excellent city dogs, believe it or not. We met up on the Parkway and the dogs would say hi and quickly pee and all of us would just go back up the elevator lol.

you just have to get the right dogs for the apartment situation. and it can be (certain) a big dog.

If you’ve ever been to any of these muslim countries you’ll realize that to accede to any demand, is to surrender. This is ideologically part of their culture. One can’t be separated from the other.

Diwali is a fun holiday, originally Hindu but now celebrated by many other religions/cultures (kinda like the way the Japanese celebrate Christmas, even though few of them are Christians).

With respect to the Indian subcontinent, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists, Jains, and likely the various tribal religions all seem to be able to live here without murdering people or otherwise causing trouble. Only one religion common to the area causes problems.

When I was stationed in Egypt in 1990, all of our observation posts had a pet dog, a rescue from the packs of ferals roaming around the desert. It was such an institution that the Army adjusted the MTOE for the support company to add an Army veterinarian for the dog's health.

We had an incident where a pack of ferals got under the wire of a remote outpost and tried to attack the post dog. The soldiers fought off the pack with buttstocks and bayonets until the squad leader said "screw this" and popped a couple of dogs with some 5.56 justice. He got Article 15'd and demoted from E6 to E5, but decided that it was worth it.

161 Banning dogs, like allowing prayer on streets, is a way for them to assert that their needs as a muslim is superior to anyone else's.

It is a way of establishing the order of power, with islam on top. They accept our rules when inferior (in numbers and power) but when superior, we have to accept their rules. Forcing us to is the goal. It is a pure power play and they are taught every Friday that a day will come that the West will be conquered and it is their job to force the issue with every encounter with a non-muslim. They get points for being obnoxious to us. That is their slave labor of conquest.

184 "Phobia" means "fear".
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia


Actually, that's a mistranslation that started in the 19th century and has frustratingly never gone away.

When German/Austrian early psychologists first starting coining words with the Greek suffix "...phobia." their original intended meaning was "loathing" or "disgust' or "revulsion." When their works were first translated into English, however, the new German words were translated inaccuarely to mean "fear of." That mistranslation stuck, and to this day almost everyone thinks that "-phobia" as a suffix means "fear of," when in fact it was supposed to mean "revulsion at."

No, The Inquisition was a court established to secure the Reconquista. It had power to detain, interrogate, imprison, and sentence anyone suspected of being a muslim, sympathizer, or co-conspirator (this is often conflated to being non-Christian by both the inquisitors and historians, but the goal was to make sure the reclamation of the land stuck.)

They mostly expelled the traitors and invaders, seizing their property for the church. They were greatly feared as if you were suspected of being an underground muzzie, they would stick you in a cell for weeks as they investigated. They actually killed very few but that what they are blamed for. They did confiscate a lot of assets and made a lot of mistakes, but that is always the case with such absolute power.

A dog is much better protection than a door or window camera where I live (fairly looking area in the daytime) any day of the week. Had people try to pry a rear window up one evening when I was inside by myself. The last dog (passed last June) detected it well before I did and ran them off.

Once owned a little terrier that someone had tied onto a pole along a highway. She became a great guard dog as she sounded huge & potentially violent when anyone knocked or loitered outside.

This belief also means they can steal from, rape, and/or murder all infidels, and still be at one with allah. Some act on that in Western societies even now, while others are waiting till they acquire "critical mass".

Yet Another "Trans" Mass Shooting the Media Will Pretend Was Perpetrated by a "Woman"

This mass shooting at a "youth hockey game."

They cannot stop mass-murdering children.

A youth hockey game in Rhode Island erupted into chaos when gunfire tore through a crowded rink, leaving two family members dead, three others critically wounded, and the suspected shooter dead in an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said.

The violence broke out in Pawtucket during a local high school matchup, sending families diving for cover as first responders swarmed the arena. Witnesses described panic in the stands as shots echoed through the building and parents shielded children amid the confusion.

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told WPRI that the suspected gunman was 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who went by the name "Roberta." Authorities say Dorgan opened fire on family members inside the rink before turning the weapon on himself.


...


WPRI reported that Dorgan had changed his gender identification several years ago. In 2020, he went to the North Providence Police Department and informed officers that he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery, adding that his father-in-law wanted him out of their shared North Providence residence because of it.

Court records cited by the station show that around the same time, Dorgan's wife filed for divorce. In the filing, she referenced "gender reassignment surgery" and what she described as "narcissistic + personality disorder traits" as factors contributing to the collapse of the marriage.

Wait, the dick-removal surgery didn't cure the serious psychological comorbidities? That's strange. Genital Chop-Shop Salesmen always tell their patients that getting their genitals mutilated will cure all mental illnesses.

The suspect's documented gender transition, detailed in police records and divorce filings, is now part of the broader factual record investigators are examining. The shooting also comes just one week after a separate mass killing in Canada involving a trans-identified suspect -- a back-to-back sequence that is already fueling debate and renewed scrutiny as critics point to what they describe as a troubling pattern of trans-linked violence.

This latest Trans Terrorist threatened he would "GO BERSERK" if people didn't respect his mentally-disordered fake pronouns.

One day before bullets tore through a Rhode Island ice rink, Robert Dorgan -- a 56-year-old transgender-identifying father who also went by Roberta Esposito -- posted a warning that now reads like a flashing red light.

"Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK," Dorgan wrote on X, venting over transgender issues and reacting to a post that referred to Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, who is transgender, as a man.

Does it seem to you that ten percent of all mass shootings are perpetrated by entitled, radicalized trans lunatics?

If so, your perception is accurate.

Or so says the AI program Perplexity. Usually we'd want numbers from the government or media, but we know damn well they will hide those numbers forever.

I just had a bit of an argument/discussion with Perplexity, one of the best research AIs out there, about the proportion of mass shooters in recent years who are transgender or trans activists. After a bit of back and forth in which Perplexity admitted to "hand waving" about the proportion of perpetrators who are trans, we settled on a plausible percentage of mass shooters since 2018 who are in that category: about 10%.

Dagen McDowell
@dagenmcdowell

New York Times avoids any mention that the alleged murderer at the Rhode Island hockey rink shooting is transgender.

(5 reporters!)

Gender identity must be relentlessly shoved down the gullet but quickly hidden when linked to any horror exposing the depravity of the crusade.

@SweetGaelicGirl

My own local FOX affiliate called the shooting a "family dispute." No mention that the perp was a transgender lunatic.

@FOX13News

You can't hate the media enough.

Quillette released this video -- "We Need to Talk About Why There Are So Many Trans Shooters" -- three or four trans shooters ago, depending on how you count.

Now, the numbers here are easy to massage. If some inner city yute does a spray and pray on another gang is it a mass shooting? You'll see this sort of thing included in some data and not others.

BUT

Traditionally when the left wanted to make the case that school shooters were mostly white guys they excluded these sort of gang related incidents, and if we put the same filter on here that the danger from trannies because very very obvious.

Although now we see why women stay with their tranny husbands...if you leave them, they come back to kill you and their kids b/c they think you ruined their life, when in fact, it was your own actions that did so.

The ex wife was on record calling this shooter a egotistical narcissist...she unfortunately was 100% right...

55 The WSJ story on the Canadian Trans-murderer went out of its way to use female pronouns. The story had "she", "her" "hers" just about every line. Story did not allow comments. Wonder why

For Rhode Island Trans-killer, WSJ deployed no pronouns at all. It was proper name and non-gendered words like "shooter", "suspect" or "perpetrator.

I suppose the difference is that RI guy was so obviously 56 year old "male" whack job that even the WSJ could not spin him as a woman. Too bad. I wanted to read how they 'splained ex-wife and kids. Story used "Ex-wife" in headline, so when I clicked I was expecting story of how "she" killed "her" "ex-wife."

Stories of mass-murders have become more opaque than Kremlin watching at the height of the Cold War.

66 I think you have to remove gang shootings to get that, but gang shootings are obviously not what people think of when it comes to "mass shootings" even though they meet the literal definition.

Yes, like I mention above those gang shootings are traditionally excluded from these metrics, and the left did that because they were trying to argue that mass shootings are a white male problem.

Well, maybe they were *before* the rise of trannies.

Which brings up an interesting point - how many of those earlier shooters would have also gone tranny in todays culture? The FNM made a big deal about Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold being goth at the time...

Get cancer insurance. I was worried about cancer because I have a family history. Then I got testicular cancer. Every time I had a surgery, they cut a check. Every time I did chemo, they cut a check. This was on top of my reasonably good health coverage I had through work. Cancer sucked, but that part was awesome.

I know not everyone has health insurance, but cancer insurance wasn't expensive and it was great for me.

And, ignore for a moment the question of how paying someone to put a tattoo on you is showing YOUR creativity.

Does anyone think in aggregate that men don't like women with a strong creative side? Does pop culture argue men don't like women that can sing, or paint, or write?

Because I also know one of the pop culture complaints about "manic pixie girls" is that it create an unrealistic expectation of among other things how creative a woman should be...

The contrarian argument is that schools now treat boys like defective girls, and force them to sit and be social instead of running around like wild Indians.
Boys need to run around and be rambunctious, it is what they were evolved to do, and what cultures have developed to encompass.

245 > It is virtually impossible to have someone committed against their will. We tried to have a family member held for treatment, and the hearing was a joke. It was basically the person in need of treatment if they wanted to leave, if they said "yes", they were released. Once you've been through that, you know it's useless.

I've shared this before, but I briefly knew a guy in college who later with a knife killed his mom and sister's best friend. He was a druggy and a schizophrenic. His parents tried to commit him, but the courts said no.

248 The New Age. Psychological.

The women (citizens) with greatest potential to populate/repopulate the middle classes and truly care about local politics in particular have been worn down by the Left for the last quarter century, now it's the men's turn.

Different tactics in that those norms are being boxed in. They get jumped over in school, work, community, even spreading into some of their homes, and the Left picks up power via youth involvement, voting, etc.

And as more people lose their grip, mentally.

Change & retrain the backbone of the nation. The rich stay rich, the poor needy. Civil Society.

We have a relative that was a landscaper and had to use a ton of roundup. We assume some of their illnesses later in life were from exposure to roundup. But they are dead now, so they can't pursue a claim.

Same with the Johnson's baby powder. I had a relative that used that religiously every day. Passed from cancer.

287 Pro Tip: Don't fuck with wrestlers.

They will tie you into a pretzel, no matter how gay it makes you feel.
Posted by: garrett at February 17, 2026 02:08 PM (gH8T+)

This is true generally.

At least in high school wrestlers off the mat were not as tough as on the mat. Something about being on the mat brought out their kinks.

290 So Roundup is the newest Debbil. What does it do to kill people, Exactly? Is the Science Settled on the matter?

At this point is doesn't matter, probably. They've already deliberately introduced round-up resistant genetics into field crops, which will undoubtedly spread to wild plants if they haven't already, so Round-up itself is now moot as an herbicide, and they probably have some new terrible herbicide waiting in the wings.

So the company can afford to let the product go.

Actually it's not persistent. That is why it is so popular. It only kills green growing plants that absorb it through their leaves. Once it gets into the soil, it rapidly breaks down. Has no effect on germinating seeds.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 17, 2026 02:23 PM (8zz6B)

293 LOL, none of you ever wrestled and it shows.

But, I will say, there is literally no legitimate reason to ever touch the crotch or ass.
And any one who did so would be disqualified.

The only reason the ref didn't then and there was because he feared the hate storm from dq'ing a trannie more than enforcing the rules.
And yes, the ref knew he did that to her, he saw exactly where his hand was.
That was no where near inadvertent "in the course of a wrestling move."

She mentioned the 911 memorial and I said that I didn't think Bush handled that real well as most of them were Saudis and Bush let SA off the hook. I have mentioned to her that my job may go poof because Trump admin wants to greatly weaken NCAR, disburse its programs. I'm not in disagreement with the admin on that, NCAR has been and is very lefty. I think our little sub-group just creates honest data products useful for weather modeling; and that is probably true for 2/3 of NCAR but they have pushed CO2 Climate Change BS forever. Sadly most of the atmospheric research folks in the U.S. and Europe buy into that theory. I think there is strong tendency to trust what your colleagues publish, and junior folks were also indoctrinated in HS, and college.

The farms use roundup as a spot treatment to kill weeds in the grass seed fields, it is stained with a dye so the guys can see what they spray. The workers (mostly hispanics here) are out all day with the Solo tank sprayers on their backs pumping and spraying, and they have told me that they come home at night with these dye stains all over them because the equpment always leaks and dribbles, and they spill it when they fill the sprayers, and it runs through their "protective" clothing which is mostly long sleeve dress shirts they buy used from Goodwill, and jeans.
They can wash their hands when they stop to eat lunch, but they are covered in the stuff as long as they spray. This does not include the equipment operators who have masks and coveralls and run the spray rigs and eat the overspray as long as they run the equipment and service it. That stuff is not dyed, they just use a foam marker to show where they have been in the field.

I used to use it to spray roads.

A mass shooting is not necessarily a mass murder. Murders get top billing by the blood-lusting media.

351
Scientific consensus on the danger of Roundup (active ingredient: glyphosate) is mixed and highly debated, with major agencies providing conflicting conclusions. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified it as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (2015), citing links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Conversely, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and European agencies maintain it is "not likely to be carcinogenic" when used as directed.

While some studies and legal outcomes suggest a danger, particularly at high or prolonged exposure levels, global regulatory bodies do not universally agree that it is a carcinogen for the general population.

Operation PROTECT DONKEY-CHOMPERS: Leftwing Propaganda Media Goes Into Overdrive Claiming That AOC's Embarrassingly Incompetent Performance At Munich Was Akshually "Cogent" and Critics Are Just "Microscopically Dissecting" Her "Message"

If you took the day off yesterday, unlike me, you may have missed the story that Donkey-Chompers went to the Munich Security Conference because she's running for president and someone told her she had to show her "foreign policy chops" and so she read an issue of The Nation on the plane and figured she was all set.

She was not in fact all set. She embarrassed herself horribly -- more horribly than usual, if you can believe that -- and may have permanently damaged her ambition of becoming a Senator, let alone President of the United States.

In just a few minutes of Entitled Participation-Trophy Arrogant Stupidity, AOC shit the bed on multiple fronts:

* She asserted that the next president must impose a "wealth tax," and was embarrassed by a much better informed South American who told her to her face that Latin countries and repeatedly tried this and it had resulted in bankruptcy and immiseration every time. She also appeared entirely unaware that any new kind of federal tax can only happen if a constitutional amendment authorizes it -- the income tax was authorized by the 20th (?) amendment, a tax on wealth as opposed to income would require a separate amendment.

* She claimed that Marco Rubio was wrong that cowboys came from Spain. They did, because cowboys ride horses that only came over to America with the Spanish conquistadors. Some yesterday, Sean Davis I think, said, "How could someone with the last name Cortez not know that Cortez introduced horses to the Americas?"

* She claimed that Trump only thought he had the right to "kidnap" the dictator Maduro because Venezuela is "south of the equator" and you know those damn racist white Europeans think they're smarter and better than the Global South. Pro-Tip: Venezuela is not in fact south of the equator. I guess if you want to be charitable to a Make A Wish Foundation Pretend Presidential Candidate, you could say she was close. I mean, it is a few hundred miles from the Equator.


* Asked a lay-up, no-surprise, you-knew-this-was-coming question about the US defending Taiwan from a hypothetical Chinese invasion, this idiot literally said "um" and "you know" for a full minute before finally speaking in a (more or less) grammatical sentence, stating, essentially, Well we'll just have to hope that doesn't happen.

So you knew that the communist media was going to work hard to clean up for their communist Chubby Evita.

RCP's Tom Bevan called it yesterday:

If you think the legacy media carried water for Obama and Biden, just wait until AOC runs. Here's a taste from Bloomberg on her appearance in Munich:

protectdonkeychompers.jpg

Note that Bloomberg claims that her only critics were "Republican commentators" who "claimed" -- lied, that means -- that she was "unprepared."

Everyone with eyes and ears understands she was hideously unprepared. The analogy that occurs to everyone is that she looked like a third grader who was supposed to give a book report but didn't read the book so she just "ummed" for a minute before saying "it was a very, very, very, very good book, thank you."

Amazingly, Bloomberg claims that after she seemingly "flubbed" her answer, she came up with a "cogent" response, which was to say that we'll just have to hope and pray that China never invades Taiwan so no I won't answer your question about whether we'd defend Taiwan and I won't even sound authoritative in refusing to answer.

And it's not just "Republican commentators" who thought she looked unprepared. Gay Race Communism harpies Krystal Ball and Anna Kasparian blasted her as "not ready for prime time" and "embarrassing" and less than "mediocre."

As did a whole flock of leftwing Bird-Hand leftist Tik Tokkers.

AOC was so "big mad" that she was being held to conventional standards of cogency and preparedness that she called upon her favorite New York Time propagandist to spin a story that Akshually She Was There to Spread the Good Word About Gay Race Communism and She Succeeded Brilliantly, and of course the New York Times "stenographer" was only too eager to rally for the cause.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had anticipated a potentially frosty reception to her anti-establishment arguments at the Munich Security Conference, a venue she called "an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message."

And the visit to Germany felt high-stakes: It was the most prominent foreign trip to date by the progressive New York congresswoman, who had mostly focused on domestic priorities until now. Her remarks last week about addressing working-class concerns around the globe, and the reception from world leaders, were both eagerly awaited and highly scrutinized.

But rather than the substance of her arguments, it was her on-camera stumbles when answering questions about specific world affairs that rocketed around conservative social media and drove plenty of the discussion about her visit, as political observers speculated whether they would make a dent in a potential presidential run in 2028.

...

"This reporter came up to me and was like, 'Is Munich the new New Hampshire?' And I cannot say enough how out of touch and missing the point, genuinely, that is," Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview, referring to the state's tradition of hosting early presidential primary contests. "Global democracies are on fire the world over, and established parties are falling to right-wing populist movements."

To Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, the discourse about her visit had missed the more important point about the risks of authoritarianism -- an argument that she said had been well-received by the Europeans during two foreign policy panels, private meetings with German leaders and an address in a packed university auditorium in Berlin.

Yes, she wowed them in "private meetings." Just trust me, bro. The New York Times "reports" this account from a highly-biased source about her own awesomeness as if it's fact.

Update:

55 "an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message."

Europeans. Europeans are not responsive to a class-based message. Sure. Absolutely. Famously so.

80 Problem is, that AOC's answer that she will basically let china take Taiwan means that she is now the CCP's favorite candidate, so you can bet your bottom dollar that the chinese will fund her campaign with gobloads of laundered cash, will flod the Internet with astroturfed views and "fans" on her behalf, and in general doing everything they can get her elected -- so they can then waltz in and conquer Taiwan with no pushback from the US and its new Tampax President.

So don't count her out for 2028 yet -- she just acquired a major backer.

117 One of the interesting changes in politics that has happened recently is it used to be expected that any pol could speak extemporaneously on the political issues of the day. Yes their answers might be stupid and socialist but they were expected to be able to express those idea.

But now asking leftwing pols about the issues of the day is gotcha because they aren't actually expected to know ANYTHING.

And the answer, interestingly, is that as leftwing pols they'll just do whatever the leftwing narrative demands even if they don't know what it is...

118 I missed the Movie Thread down below. I saw the Red Sonja remake last night. It was ... odd. For a comic about a big-boobed babe beating ass in a chain-mail bikini, the movie took itself veeeery seriously. There were some interesting ideas floating around, but they were never developed, and it seems overall half the story was left on the cutting room floor.

Incredibly, the movie never even bothers to explain how RS became an almost invincible fighter. She spent her entire life alone in the woods. Yet somehow she's a commando ninja?

And yes, it's woke. It's like they went way far out of their way to make clear that RS is a stronk girlboss who Don't Need No Man. Well, she does need her male horse, who repeatedly saves her ass, and who she has almost Catherine The Great-level affection for. The director is a Wachowski-ish tranny freak.

Bad casting too. RS is too old, too thin, and way too soft for such a physical bad-ass role. The blonde bad girl would have been much better in the lead role. I kept thinking that RS got the role the same way Lauren Sanchez got on the Bezos cocket: by fucking the money man.

145 I ran into an interesting Juxtaposition of ideas...

The first was Ryan Long doing a skit where he was going to run as a politician solely on the political opinions of 20 year old girls - as you can imagine this was roundly denounced by leftwing commenters as pure misogyny because he presented those opinions as vapid and stupid and that we in fact need to listen to younger people because they are smarter and wiser

But then after that was another thread where there was discussion where an older woman claimed the only reason a man would ever want to date a younger women is because younger women and ignorant and easily controlled. And this had a bunch of leftwing posters agreeing.

But...these two sets of ideas are in opposition. If young women are easily duped then you don't want to adopt their ideas, and if in fact they are smarter and wiser then their elders not only would they not be dominated by an older man, but would help to educate him no?

She did not make any arguments for the working class or ones that were informed by the movement as whole, because the Munich conference is a pro-NATO, militarist country club.

We need to be standing for political independence and anti militarism just as much as we stand for the necessary reforms. When neoliberalism is gone, the right win. We can recognize her early accomplishments while simultaneously noting she has abandoned her responsibility to lead.

She failed simple questions, she is the best thing for the GOP. I'd still support her over Newsom, but we can do better. Thankfully the DSA is growing.

She sounded like a contender for a candidate for higher office using her wit and not deflections! Shame Fox Gossip News: She shined so well they mocked her to dissuade people from hearing her words.

1) Her sitting "ladylike" as the British royals like Princess Catherine of Wales does with ease...AOC looks like she needs to pee badly. It is either this pose or incontinece of both her brain and bladder at the same time. Which should finish her off for politics, but look at Hillary! Ok, I think Hil's done fall out, whatever zombie state, of being thrown into a SUV probably did it for her, on top of being mean as a diamondback rattler...

2) Today, at some point, I'd like to research AOC's parental unit. Because her nose disturbs me so badly. I have never seen one like this. The squashed toad nose of flaring nostrils. That's all I look at, considering I have never listened to her.

Thanks, Ace. Donkey Chompers is fitting for her teeth/gums/gaping maw issue, and also alarming in that she could bray eventually (probably her laugh). Dat nose, doh, baffles me.

Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at February 17, 2026 01:18 PM (iFTx/)

Some of them might have sniffed it out before Crowley and watched but I think it was a true ultra left insurgency that caught Crowley out. The party then broke up the team that did it and decided to bring AOC into the fold without the somewhat politically savvy leaders who set her up. I haven't heard much from the ringleader, so he may not have been as savvy once the big boys took notice.

The vote totals that Crowley needed were less than 20000 or so IIRC in a district of a few hundred thousand and more. If he did not take care to lock them down...more fool him.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

The most aggressively anti-American group in our country is academia. The sordid and tedious litany of hatred of traditional American culture in those hallowed halls is well documented. The obsessive pushing of the Marxist dialectic in all subjects, no matter how ridiculously tangential it might be is also documented. Racial and ethnic division as a tool to remake America? It has a home in our universities. The blurring of simple biological sex into a malaise of insane and incomprehensible "genders" and lunatic behaviors is accepted as normal by a shocking number of supposedly well-educated academics, and of course their mush-brained young students.

But their fanatical desire to sell our intellectual wealth to the highest bidder, especially if it is an enemy of America might be the worst thing they do!

The Seven Sons of China are Stealing our Stuff...and the academic establishment is fine with it...

If you have been to a major top-shelf university or research institution’s graduation ceremony in the last two decades, one thing that dramatically stands out is how many People’s Republic of China (PRC) nationals are receiving not just undergraduate degrees, but master’s degrees and PhDs in the most highly skilled STEM fields from biostatistics to quantum physics. From aerospace engineering to industrial design—PRC nationals are overrepresented to an outlandish degree.

Don’t forget, these are the places basic research starts, where the future technology is developed. This is also a zero-sum game with a finite number of positions. For each PRC national who is getting a PhD in a STEM field, that is one American who is not. They either don’t go, or have to find a lower-tier university to go to.


And sadly, our own government subsidizes this fifth column in the midst of our technological research!

Read the whole thing...CDR Salamander is always worth a read, and this essay is particularly on point.

America First must be all-encompassing, and must enter every facet of our society to be effective. Obviously our universities are savagely anti-American, but the fact that they are also pro-China should be a bridge too far. That China is assiduously working to further its own interests is normal. That America has so far not done anything like what the Chinese are doing is a sad commentary on how deeply the academic attitude of "America Last" has penetrated into our entire research effort.

The fix is simple: reserve 90% of all publicly funded academics for American citizens. Will we lose some bright foreign students? Absolutely. But the net benefit will dwarf what we are currently losing to the rest of the world.

The original idea was that we would be educating the B and B from around the world, and that exposure to America would ensure they'd be friendly to us as they moved into the higher echelons of government back home. Obviously, if the university tells them nothing but "America sux" that will have an impact.

32 "The most aggressively anti-American group in our country is academia."

Sadly, I think sports is not much further down the list in terms of being anti-American and just outright poisonous. Big professional leagues have long been captured and corrupted. That's trickled down all the way to Pee Wee leagues.

And don't get me started on the Olympics. I can't wait for this fuckfest to be over. I want to go back to never hearing about these insufferable gay douchebags and all their stupid psychodramas and perverted ideologies.

I feel bad for the (few?) athletes who train hard, go to the games to compete and represent their country, and aren't filthy commies and cocksuckers.

Condola Rashad [Phylicia Rashad's daughter]stars in St. Joan on Broadway and tells NPR's Scott Simon that Joan of Arc will always be fascinating as a woman who did what she believed and led thousands of soldiers to victory. . .

That's Condola Rashad as The Maid of Orleans, who was burned as a witch but became a saint. The Manhattan Theatre Club production has opened at the Samuel Friedman Theatre. It's directed by Daniel Sullivan. Condola Rashad has been nominated for four Tony Awards, including this year for "St. Joan."

Their numbers are probably inflated.

Heavily.

They may have less than a billion people total. Their replacement rate is probably .7-.9 across the whole nation. And Xi is purging generals on pretty much a weekly basis now.

One of the speculations for Trump's motive in controlling Greenland is that there's a 230-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) extending from its coastline (over 27,000 miles of it), and Chinese fishing fleets have been intruding upon and overfishing that territory without any regard to the future.

Basically you had to "partner" with a Chinese automaker if you wanted access to Chinese markets.



Even if the ChiComs allowed Western firms proper access to the Chinese market, that market isn't nearly as large as Western "elites" from Hahvahd think it is. It's about 400M or so people on the Eastern coast of China, if that. The other 1B or so Chinese consumers are illiterate rural peasants who live in huts without running water or electricity and think that public sanitation means that you shit in the street rather than in a corner of your mud hut.

137 Tiny quibble, that may not actually be correct:

It's probably not really "zero-sum". The PRC grad students who come in occupy a position that was created by a grant (NSF, DOE, NRL/ARL, whoever) to the university and, given how The World seems to work these days, it's a safe assumption that if that post weren't designed to be given to a Chinese national with the bill footed in part or in full by the PRC itself in the first place, then that position simply would not exist because the grant would not exist. They're here because the people who got them here got paid, one way or another, to get them here.

Wagner waves him over and invites him to join them.

Awkward. After he gets up to leave, he hears Wagner turn to the other two and say something like "Gentlemen, you DO realize that that young man has likely slept with each of our daughters?"]

Unlike that stunted little gnome Spike Lee, who stole virtually every film trick in his book from Scorsese or Charles Laughton (the love/hate tattoo speech from The Night of the Hunter, which is used almost verbatim in Do The Right Thing).

Well yes, but they also sell all over the world. Buyers literally have to do genetic testing to find out what a fish actually is, since they just lie. And there are expenses in fish farms, where they either have to use enough space for the fish to be healthy naturally (costs money) or load them up with antibiotics so they don't die from each other's poop (less expensive, but can get them banned from a market if detected). But if you buy caught fish from them, then you're contributing to the collapse of fisheries worldwide.

Years ago, I was in a class with a guy who had been in the Coast Guard, and one of their standard, ongoing functions was protecting Alaska's fisheries from Russian factory ships. Now it's the Chinese overfishing other people's waters, and they're everywhere.

I never really saw a message in it. Maybe one about fidelity and sexual urges to be unfaithful. The film is pretty obviously supposed to be experiential around the nature of dreams first and foremost.

The whole "Kubrick got murdered because he uncovered Epstein" thing has always struck me as...typical over analyzing of Kubrick. I put as much stock in it as the missing chair from the background of The Shining as being important to the intention of the film.

You have a specific element of Kubrick that you define as Kubrickian, something you obviously despise, so you reject any other potential for influence. His entire crafting ethos gets pushed aside for the thematic intention you read into the films.

And, to flip that back on you, considering the skeeviness and nihilism of modern culture, couldn't you say that your view of Kubrick's failings are some of the most influential things in modern cinema?

As I have noted before, If after watching many Kubrick films, if you have any desire to watch them again, there is something profoundly wrong with that person.

There are exceptions and I listed them up thread.

108 I like the painting generally for the poses and the way she captures the folds and textures of the cloth. They look like something on the radio just caught their attention. The eyes are rather dull which I think hurts the effectiveness. It has the feel of a Norman Rockwell scene, a moment in ordinary life.

I saw some of her still life paintings which I think are superior to this and other of her paintings.

One’s inability to read leading them to falsely interpret a tweet as accusing them of not being able to read is a level of irony I wasn’t prepared for on a Monday morning.

Somehow Newsom managed to get a rare own goal while arguing with *Ted Cruz*. That's impressive, I suppose.

Gavin you can’t pitch yourself as the Democratic Trump and just be offended by something Lyin’ Ted said. At least say it’s a new low for the Zodiac Killer or some shit

Newsom is far from a Leftist. MAGA knows, they just want others to think he is

the democratic field of contenders in 2028 is looking prettyyyyy bleak. Luckily we got JD Vance as our opposition 

Can’t wait for them to shoehorn in someone against the will of their voters because it’s “their turn”. Or put up another phenomenally bad female candidate and take away all the wrong lessons from it

Newsom has no political or philosophical underpinning. He's one of the most facially power hungry people in a party filled with them. He'll say literally anything, and he has almost never any idea what he's actually saying.

He's a dullard with no real thoughts on policy or political philosophy.

He's also tied to powerful people who use him like a fuckdoll, so he's gained power.

220 Willowed:

It sounds nice, but I was living in CO when Jefferson and Douglas Counties threw out their Communist school boards and brought in conservatives.

It achieved absolutely nothing.

The teachers *immediately* went into open revolt, walked out and went on strike, lining thoroughfares with picket lines and screaming at motorists about fascism.

NEA/CEA went on a full court media press, smearing the boards as unreconstructed slavedriving racist Klansmen, and hurled cash into an off-year recall election with their advantage of concentrated interest and got them OUT.

It's not possible for a board to do very much, sadly - the people they are putatively "in charge of" are 100% spittle-flecked, barking mad ideological Marxists who are 110% dedicated to the destruction of the American enemy, and will stop at nothing to achieve it, and are backed the most powerful union on the planet. The imbalance in power and tactics isn't surmountable.

They're not gonna just say "whelp, the people have spoken, we better just stand down and do what these dickless Republican nerds tell us to do."

[Per Brave "AI":]

Alan Dershowitz has repeatedly praised Ted Cruz as one of the smartest students he ever taught at Harvard Law School. Dershowitz described Cruz as "off-the-charts brilliant" and said he was "among the smartest students I’ve ever had" in terms of raw intellectual ability.

Classroom engagement was a standout trait—Dershowitz recalled that on Cruz’s first day of law school, he raised his hand to challenge the professor’s views, a pattern that continued throughout the semester. Using the Socratic method, Dershowitz said Cruz disagreed with nearly everything he said but did so with such brilliant arguments that he never needed to play devil’s advocate.

Gavin Newsome looks and acts like someone told him when he was 18. "Geez, Gav, you have great hair! You outta be a politician or sumthin."
So, that's what he did.

AOC's story is exactly like two or three of Our Betters got together and decided to run a "Trading Places" type scenario, with her as the bartender who becomes President! as a weird joke or bet. The worst version of "My Fair Lady" yet.

Not a huge surprise, as he used to be in the Pelosi family, by marriage (thru an aunt, I believe).


The reason is that she's having a hard time with losing power. She will never be reconciled to it. Power is oxygen to her. By endorsing Newsome, she shows everyone that she's still large and in charge, and Temu Obama is just a token.

I was listening to some national radio news last night when they reported this story.

I couldn't believe it: it said something about this father & ex-husband named "Robert" who'd murdered these people at a hockey game -- AND that he went by the name of "Roberta" something.

355 Cigarette lighters were a sort of by-blow development of WWI.
"Three on a match" was a legend because of Boer War snipers. The original lighters had a little sliding snuffer, the idea being that there was less flare-up and a shorter duration for an enemy to see in trench warfare. Zippo's hinged lid was a safety improvement, guaranteeing immediate extinguishing.

The whole thing was about one-hand operation. The Boeing yoke, though not as heavy as the Consolidated wheel, pretty much requires a two-hand grip, which is why pilots wore their wristwatches with the face on the inside of their wrists. Lighting a match with a thumbnail can be a little iffy; if you have to ignite your pipe with just one motion, the lighter is better. Not an issue for how we smoke now, post-wars.

362 I think all smoking is disgusting.
——

You’re not alone. My point is there is a certain irony in removing cigarettes from combat rations - smoking is unhealthy, you see. There is no in between in the US. We went from smoking on elevators, to arresting people smoking on windswept beaches. If we as a society are going to outlaw disgusting things - well smoking is pretty far down the list, actually

“Nose art” was basically outlawed on planes because it was considered obscene. Dropping flaming gasoline on people from the plane is OK. See where I’m goin’ with that?

363 This is true. Might have to turn in part of my smoker's card, but a zippo always gave me a chemical taste to the smoke. I much preferred a butane lighter (ain't no one got time for matches.)
Posted by: Aetius451AD at February 17, 2026 10:37 AM (bss/y)

Same. My preference is wood matches, or even cedar wicks, if available. The latter imparts a very pleasant woody note for those first crucial puffs, and ensures an even light. Butane is a good second choice, as it is neutral to the palate.

I was under the impression that the abortion procedure wasn't an option back then. She would've either need to miscarry or get punched in the stomach really hard.

I have a feeling being the Holy Mother of The Lord made those options not viable either.

The Morning Report — 2/17/26

BooGuChiScam.jpg

Good morning kids. Another day, another transexualism/Leftist-fueled mass slaughter to report.

Police identified the gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon as Robert Dorgan, a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants.

The 56-year-old father, who shot four family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink, used the female alias Roberta Esposito, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a press conference Monday night. 

“We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan,” Goncalves said. “We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last name of Esposito.”

. . . A woman who was seen leaving the Pawtucket police station earlier in the day said the gunman was her father, who “has mental health issues” and was “very sick.”

No it's all of us who are sick for not using the preferred pronouns and objecting to genital mutilation of children in the name of diversity or something. If you think because you live in a reliably red/conservative/normal town or state and think you are immune from this insanity, think again my friends.

The School District of New Richmond in Wisconsin secretly implemented a transgender bathroom policy, and on last Tuesday night during an explosive school board meeting, parents revolted en masse. 

New Richmond, a small northwestern city of only 10,000, is like many communities in the region — mostly white, conservative, and broadly working and middle-class. It sits in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, where I’m currently running for Congress in 2026 and where President Trump won by more than 20 points in 2024. . .

. . . On Tuesday, I saw New Richmond fathers and mothers refuse to surrender. New Richmond leaders, however, did. 

This is why all elections matter. From your local school board to your member of Congress. If we want schools that reflect our values and laws that protect our daughters, we must elect leaders willing to stand firm in their convictions, protect the vulnerable, and defend the truth.

Elsewhere, DC is evidently dealing with a massive sewage spill. No, Maxine Waters did not give a speech . . .

. . . the Potomac Interceptor release is poised to become the largest sewage spill in U.S. history.

Reportedly approaching one of the largest wastewater spills in US history, the Potomac Interceptor collapse is now entering a pivotal stretch as DC Water ramps up pumping capacity to 114 million gallons per day, while E. coli levels near the collapse site remain staggeringly high.

While we're on the topic of toxic effluent, I give you the recently discovered ramblings of Eric "Yum-Yum" Swalwell, a vile, compromised Chi-Com intel asset posing as an American politician.

Graphic erotic poetry written by Democrat California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell resurfaced this week, along with his past advocacy for pardoning two criminals convicted of killing law enforcement officers.

Swalwell, who announced his run for governor on late night TV, was born in Iowa and primarily raised in the San Francisco Bay Area with three younger brothers. He attended Campbell University in North Carolina starting in 1999, where he majored in government and politics and contributed to the student newspaper. One piece, a raunchy poem titled “Hungover From Burgundy,” depicts two lovers chasing each other, with blood coming into play as they kiss. The magazine described Swalwell at the time as an “active member of the Campbell University student body,” a writer for the Campbell Times and someone completing his third screenplay. (RELATED: Inside The Scenario Where Two Republicans Win California’s Jungle Primary)

“And there beauty was, formless and magnificent— A flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and She ran. Atop my hotel she stopped And I lept for cloth and tan, My anxious arm she bit— my scar is beautiful. While I screamed, She bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, Till blood rolled down our chins, For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting,” Swalwell wrote.

Given that this is Swalwell, I read the word "parting" as Farting".


While we're on the subject of noxious flatus, there is quite a contingent of individuals putatively Americans and on the American winter Olympic team who are opening most of their time running down their own country.


Arguably the most execrable is this Eileen Gu shit-whore . . . Who actually competes for the Red Chinese team!

Gu of course isn’t the first American athlete to defect to China, but she’s certainly the most prominent—and likely the most wealthy. According to Forbes, Gu is the fourth highest-paid female athlete in the world, in just a few years amassing a fortune worth some $23 million. Of that, only about $100,000 comes from skiing, and the rest from lucrative modeling contracts and major brand endorsements, many in China where Gu is a superstar.

This makes Gu an ideal ambassador and propagandist for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In that role, she has dutifully avoided answering even the most basic questions about her citizenship. To compete for China in the Olympics, Gu must have a Chinese passport, and since China doesn’t allow dual citizenship there has been speculation for years that she renounced her American citizenship.

Gu, who speaks Mandarin and spent time in China throughout her life, maintains a carefully cultivated public persona and refuses to engage any questions about her citizenship or her absentee American father, whose name isn’t public. She carefully redirects any politically tinged questions, adopts woke positions on most issues she does speak about, and reliably parrots CCP talking points about how wonderful and open China is.

Gu speaks Mandarin and has spent time in China her entire life, yet she lives, trains, and goes to school in America. She lives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in San Francisco (Sea Cliff), attended the private prep school University High School (tuition $68,090), and has enjoyed all the benefits of a posh upbringing in the United States. Yet Gu competes for China on the world stage, and has enriched herself immensely from it.

This makes her a traitor, more or less. Or at the very least a defector—and a useful one. American news outlets are covering her like they did in the last one—hyping her up as if she’s an American athlete, not a Chinese one.

I haven't watched the Olympics in years, as I suspect neither have many of you for the same reasons that have led to the rapid decline of pro football, basketball, baseball and every other professional American sports league. All have degenerated into repositories of politicized, anti-American, amoral perversion. Oh well.

Have a great day.

27 My favorite Robert Duvall story was from a Marine who was an Aviation Mechanic. Robert came out with a couple of PAOs because the movie The Great Santini was being filmed and he wanted to sit in a cockpit to get an understanding of his role.

So he sits in the plane and his hands are about to grab onto the ejection handles. The Marine stopped him which caused the PAOs to start screaming at him for what he did.

Robert looked at them and said "Gentlemen, this young man just stopped me from making a stupid mistake. Back off and let him do his job."

So he sits in the plane and his hands are about to grab onto the ejection handles. The Marine stopped him which caused the PAOs to start screaming at him for what he did.

Robert looked at them and said "Gentlemen, this young man just stopped me from making a stupid mistake. Back off and let him do his job."

50 This made me laugh. From Copilot

The costume design for "Wuthering Heights" has been a subject of much debate and criticism. Critics argue that the costumes do not adhere to historical accuracy, with some pointing out that Cathy's wedding dress is inspired by a 1951 Charles James haute couture gown and that the use of cellophane on her wedding night is a material first invented in 1908. These costumes were designed by Jacqueline Durran, who has previously won Oscars and BAFTAs for her work on other films. Despite the criticism, some have described the costumes as "wild and wonderful" by Vogue. The film's director, Emerald Fennell, has stated that the costumes were not created with historical accuracy in mind, but rather to convey the mood and style of the characters within the film's narrative

Some teacher indoctrinated that kid, some parent sis the same and they both cheer on the violence.

69 Robert Duvall was the original villain, Harry Roat Jr., in the Broadway production of Wait Until Dark[/i w/ Lee Remick as the blind heroine Susy. That was about the time he appeared as a cab driver in a tiny role in Point Blank w/ Lee Marvin. He'd done some TV before that, a Twilight Zone and a Fugitive. Then came The Godfather, Joe Kidd w/ Eastwood, Apocalypse Now ("I love the smell of napalm in the morning" and "Charlie don't surf"), The Great Santini, Lonesome Dove and Open Range, and he even played Robert E. Lee.

He was apparently a conservative Republican all his life.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan tracked this scam, and in October 2024, his staff issued a report revealing that “more than 700,000 illegal aliens have had their cases dismissed, terminated, or administratively closed” under Biden, which “allowed those aliens to stay in the country indefinitely without facing immigration consequences.”

142 Moore, who has made multiple, provable falsehoods about his life story—including lying about military honors, his athletic achievements, and where he spent his childhood—didn’t answer O’Donnell’s question. Instead, the Maryland governor said he is a "person of honor and integrity" who has never exaggerated anything about his life, accusing the Free Beacon, which he derided as "a conservative blog," of engaging in the "politics of personal destruction" for reporting on his missing graduate thesis and his claim that he was enrolled there as a doctoral student.

No silly out-of-place glamour. Just raw, rugged, good, engaging story telling. Hollywood doesn't do that anymore.

Name a movie that you loved that didn't have a great script. 

Great scripts are original in some way, which is exactly what Hollywood can't make anymore, by its choice.

The future is smaller budget flicks with real actors, and AI used to create the mise en scene.

I just saw Send Help and loved it. Good fun, not art. It works because the two leads were so good. CGI was used to create wild boars, etc. Things hard to do in meatspace, or too expensive.

237 How can I convince my mom that trans people are not more likely to shoot up schools?

My mom made me listen to Matt Walsh and he kept saying that trans people are inherently more dangerous and are more likely to shoot up a school.

I tried showing her statistics, and she said "there have been 4 school shootings done by transgenders in the last year alone", then went on a rant about how "Tyler Robinson's boyfriend shot Charlie Kirk because of Israel" (I don't even fucking know anymore

0.3 to 0.6% of the population is trans, and .01% of mass shooters since 2013 are trans, so trans people are actually *under* represented among mass shooters.

Plus trans people are more oppressed and bullied by society than cis people, yet snap less often in violent ways.

There’s also misconstrued stats about lesbians having more domestic violence, and thus, that lesbian relationships are inherently troubled and doomed to failure

If she is listening to Matt Walsh, then she is a lost cause. Get out for your own safety, any way you can.

(OP is trans, and step mom are bi and polyamorus, they live with my dad, who doesn't know because she's afraid to tell him.

And think of the history she made.
Why, she made the Congress,
She made the Premier,
She made the clergy,
And she made 'em cheer.
She made the butler,
She made the groom,
She made the maid who made the room.
She made the Army,
She made the Marines,
Made some of them princes,
And some of them queens.
And when she was still discontent,
Kate'd create a new regiment.
So, beautiful ladies, before too late,
Follow the lead of this potentate,
Give up arranging affairs of state
And stay in the hay like Kate the Great.
Hay-de-hay hay-de-hay hay-de-hay.

The panopticon is a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control, originated by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single prison officer, without the inmates knowing whether or not they are being watched.

Without looking it up, I suspect that is another version of the first Richard Stark novel about amoral and unstoppable thief Parker. Lee Marvin played the role in '67's Point Blank, and Mel Gibson in the recent Payback (both renamed from "Parker").

One of the early Parkers is also called The Outfit, as Parker handles the Mob coming after him for stealing their funds in the first book. So this Duvall film could be based on that.

They have what the GOP had in 1994 when we undid over 50 years of donk domination pure rage at the status quo.

Fulton County Georgia isn’t an expose of their fraud. It’s a warning.

When was the last time anyone can point to an issue that has 84% percent support across all voters including Democrats?

Just a note on this tactic:

It's valid statistically. Averaging multiple polling results should result in a smaller margin of error in the statistics.

However, that assumes each poll is based on good statistics. If the samples aren't random, if there's weighting, if there's just straight up bad results, if there's statistical bias in which polls to use, then the assumption falls apart.

Need to win the Hearts & Minds part of the game. Women generally are conformists to whatever is the consensus opinion. Doesn't matter how insane or nutty the opinion is. As the Demonic Party keeps losing control of The Narrative, it allows other views to creep in.

That is the lever to pry on. I would prefer that the GOP just shuts the Hell up and stays on the sidelines and that the podcasters and influencers shape a narrative that makes voting for the Demonic Party unattractive.

Since a lot of women view society with a Toddler Ethic, saying mean things is a No Go. Facts & Logic are immaterial. Restoration of Peace and Order should be a priority Narrative.

The only thing feeding the pessimism is polling firms with terrible histories saying D+10 and special elections.

Remember, the VA governor's race was R+25 in 2011, and Obama won the state a year later by a healthy margin.

Midterms are really about turnout differentials, preferring the out of power party. The GOP did great during Obama's term in midterms but crashed out in the presidential election in the middle. How fed grant cutting and serious looks at voting apparati will affect things, I don't know, but I still suspect some kind of minor D House majority mixed with the GOP retaining 53 seats in the Senate.

421 Late spring or early summer tends to be when the House is baked into shape. By then, primaries over, most retirements done, and candidates get selected. And you start getting district polling.

Tell me the district demos and past voting behavior, some macro economic figures like economic growth and wages, the candidates themselves, and district fundraising, and you can get to about 80-90 percent accuracy in picking winners in races.

So best to focus on macro issues like economy, etc. right now rather than polling especially the vague which side would you rather run Congress types.

Democrats would have to retain GA (doubtful, to be honest) while picking up NC (the registration advantage tells me that Cooper, despite being a former governor, is actually the underdog), ME (Collins ain't goin' nowhere), and TX (HA!) without losing something out of left field like MI (if that Muslim wins the primary, it'll be interesting, at least).

And Senate elections drive turnout to presidential levels (it's why the GOP picked up 2 Senate seats in 2018 despite the D+9 generic ballot in the House).

High turnout in GA means the rurals turn out at very high levels, and the rurals in GA are like 70% white. All while Atlanta is actually getting smaller every year.

At one time, we had many. Then, mental illness... specifically the mental institutions, the asylums and the various treatments were demonized by liberals as "cruel." So the asylums were shuttered and the insane let out.

Today, it's rare to have someone "committed" to a mental institution. Certainly not voluntarily. And going through the motions to have someone committed is costly and time consuming.

So... the clinically insane are left to their own devices and permitted to roam freely among the sane. Doing what insane people do, without consequences. By design.

But, bettors as a group have their own quirks. Sure there are bettors that play the odds in a very logical way and are most likely the most successful.

It has been.
Worse, the kid was dating someone at college, it was serious, then there was a messy breakup. The kid then created a new identity. Still trans, but a new female name, etc.. That's taking the post-breakup haircut to an unhealthy level.

Re: The Potomac Interceptor (PI) break. Trump could be kicking some butts in directions other than the current FEMA for cleanup.

The PI is "a major sewer system operating primarily in Virginia and Maryland, conveying wastewater to the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Washington, D.C.. It carries sewage from areas near Dulles Airport in VA, traverses MD, and discharges into the D.C.

Virginia: The PI system serves areas in Virginia, with infrastructure located in Fairfax County, including the Sugarland Run and Difficult Run extensions.
Maryland: The interceptor runs through Maryland, where recent, significant repairs and collapses have occurred near the Clara Barton Parkway and Montgomery County.
District of Columbia: The system terminates at the Blue Plains plant in D.C..

The system specifically conveys waste from Virginia and Maryland to the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant for processing."

Maryland Department of the Environment, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Energy & Environment - Wash., DC, and other state agencies have responsibility.

Where'd the infrastructure $ go?

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at February 17, 2026 09:34 AM (NFX2v)

488 Continued -

Reportedly: Between 2020 and 2025, Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. received significant federal water infrastructure funding, largely driven by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), totaling hundreds of millions for drinking water, wastewater, and storm water projects. Key investments include over $124M for Maryland (2024), $94M for Virginia (2024), and targeted grants for DC's water systems.

Are there more current & consistent waterway reports for the entire Potomac Intercept area on down and the Chesapeake Bay than from years 2022, 2024?

Were there state and D.C. reports to the US EPA and, if so, where are the EPA updates? (I could be missing them but...).

I'd start looking at expenditures & environmental reports beginning with Fairfax County and work all the way down the line to the Bay. (Where there are always fish consumption advisories posted.)

491 It sounds nice, but I was living in CO when Jefferson and Douglas Counties threw out their Communist school boards and brought in conservatives.

It achieved absolutely nothing.

The teachers *immediately* went into open revolt, walked out and went on strike, lining thoroughfares with picket lines and screaming at motorists about fascism.

NEA/CEA went on a full court media press, smearing the boards as unreconstructed slavedriving racist Klansmen, and hurled cash into an off-year recall election with their advantage of concentrated interest and got them OUT.

It's not possible for a board to do very much, sadly - the people they are putatively "in charge of" are 100% spittle-flecked, barking mad ideological Marxists who are 110% dedicated to the destruction of the American enemy, and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

They're not gonna just say "whelp, the people have spoken, we better just stand down and do what these dickless Republican nerds tell us to do."

They take no blame for 'missing' funds and lack of action, and then they'll rouse some constituents/non-profits to act in the name of Environmental Injustice.

Even locally, infrastructure & other $ is sucked up by lawyers and contractors and meetings, and then more of the same before a work contract is even bid. (Keeping the well-heeled busy and affluent.)

Top Story

  • After all the fuss, OpenClaw, fomerly Moltbot, formerly Clawdbot until Anthropic made rumbling noises, isn't all that. (Tech Crunch)

    What it does achieve is making it the easy things easy and the bad things also easy. Some people who really should know better jumped into the cheerleading:
    "What's currently going on at [Moltbook] is genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently," Andrej Karpathy, a founding member of OpenAI and previous AI director at Tesla, wrote on X at the time.
    I have no face and I must palm.
    Before long, it became clear we did not have an AI agent uprising on our hands. These expressions of AI angst were likely written by humans, or at least prompted with human guidance, researchers have discovered.

    "Every credential that was in [Moltbook's] Supabase was unsecured for some time," Ian Ahl, CTO at Permiso Security, explained to TechCrunch. "For a little bit of time, you could grab any token you wanted and pretend to be another agent on there, because it was all public and available."
    There were in fact a hundred times as many accounts on Moltbook as there were Moltbots.

    Moltbook was a hopelessly insecure social network for Moltbots, which is... Also hopelessly insecure.
    Ahl's security tests of OpenClaw and Moltbook help illustrate Sorokin's point. Ahl created an AI agent of his own named Rufio and quickly discovered it was vulnerable to prompt injection attacks. This occurs when bad actors get an AI agent to respond to something - perhaps a post on Moltbook, or a line in an email - that tricks it into doing something it shouldn't do, like giving out account credentials or credit card information.
    Don't give AI your credit card number.

    Do not.

10 Regarding the 700 watt draw CPU, that’s roughly shy of 6 amps. What does the rest of the machine consume. I’m trying to in layman’s terms get a perception of how much power and infrastructure a server farm with 1,000s, or tens of thousand's of these chips and the attendant cooling and support systems really uses. And wow that’s a lot of current draw. Dwarfs a 400 amp service that is typical for a very large home.

15 I finally looked up the source of the idiom "talking his book," since that's what all the Gen AI insiders are obviously doing, but I couldn't remember if it came from bookies or stockbrokers. According to Brave Search's AI summary (after doing a follow-up question for clarification), it comes specifically from a trader's "position book," from back when that was how current investments were recorded.

It's perfectly natural. As Upton Sinclair said, it's nigh impossible to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. And, it's not just any old cognitive bias; in the preface to Dr. Cialdini's seminal work "Influence," he noted that he would not be discussing the power of incentive, since that's actually a rational response and his topic was irrationality (typically, useful cognitive shortcuts misapplied or exploited).

Sadly, reading quotes from AI promoters, they sound a bit like LLMs themselves, a bit uncannily like real people but not quite. Like NPCs delivering the precise statement for driving desired behavior, with no concern for truth value; that is for humans to worry about, not executives.

I have a very rudimentary understanding of electrical magic so I’m still grinding through this.

There's no knowing what code is on the back-end of e-business sites that take your credit card information, and when you consider how many CEOs are "all in" on integrating LLM/AI code into their business, it seems I have an all new fresh hell to have nightmares about.

47 You divide watts by volts to get amps, the max volts in the supply would be 12, so max load amperage would be 53 ish amps with limits turned off.

Under base workloads it will draw 14 amps.

Roughly the same number of amps as a space heater at max.

Dear Professor X,

I assure you, sir, that Wolverine did compete in these Olympics. However, he was unable to advance a sob story convincing enough for him to receive television coverage. Please reconsider your refusal to excuse him.

49 Noah Wyle, formerly on ER, was the celebrity monarch for Harry Connick's Orpheus parade last night. For decades there was an old-line krewe, Proteus, that held the Monday night for its parade. Then we got a city council creature who insisted that parading organizations had to integrate, or they wouldn't get a permit. So Proteus said, "Okay, no more parades. See ya."

Harry Connick stepped up in about '94 with his Orpheus parade. Miss Linda and I were there to see the first one, with Dan Aykroyd doing his Blues Brothers act atop the first float, and more celebrities atop others.

64 So in the continuing saga of upgrading the home television system...ATSC 3.0, aka NextGen TV.

I knew that the tv I chose did not have a 3.0 tuner, as Samsung only puts them in their highest end tier of TV's. With my thought process being to go with an external tuner box to upgrade to the 3.0 format. And with the charleston area OTA broadcasts almost all offering the 3.0 format as well, even MeTV, it seems to make sense.

But recent events with the FCC, and an emerging war over DRM kinda makes me want to take a 'Wait and see' position toward the buying on an external box. Lots of stuff shaking out in the courts in the last month or so make me wonder if any of us know which direction the 3.0 format is gonna go.

One of many reasons I plan to flee. And the summers are getting longer. I recall it used to be chilly at least for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and not to warm unpleasantly until mid-March.

93 In the past week, there was a link to an article about how 'helpful' forum posters would provide a malicious line of command code and ask you to run it in PowerShell or a command line. From there, it'd do something like pull another script payload, and then execute that thanks to how the copy/pasted code was entered (in the one example, it runs another command line, based on the malicious response of another command).

With AI agents scraping the web for their content to post, particularly from supposedly-helpful sites, I foresee a LOT of prompt injection attacks waiting for these vulnerable, shoddily-coded web crawlers. Could get REALLY nasty, especially since there's not a lot of safeguards - see examples of said AI agents "apologizing" after deleting everything even when it was told not to touch anything.

The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

These crimes were not isolated incidents constituting moments of poor judgment; they were textbook cases of grooming, involving a defendant who repeatedly leveraged tactics of isolation, manipulation, and control for the sake of her own selfish purposes. The egregious nature of the conduct was further compounded by the plain fact that the emotional and psychological harm she inflicted came at the expense of two of the very same young minds she had been entrusted to develop and nurture. Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago


Quote II

"Come on, Oskar, just fuck off.” Canada’s Marc Kennedy, Olympic Curler


Quote III
I told [lawmakers] straight up: South Texas will never be red again,” Mario Guerrero, the CEO of the South Texas Builders Association

Mr. Guerrero, personally I don't care. I want every ILLEGAL ALIEN out of this country.

*****


I love women. I love my wife. I love my 3 daughters. I love my granddaughter. But, what the fuck is wrong with many of that gender?

First of all lady, who made you God so you could smite off road enthusiasts?

Well this Goddess learned an eye for an eye or something happened to somebody.



So we keep hearing about compromise. How can one have a rationale discussion about ILLEGAL ALIENS when you are dealing with this insufferable c*^t?

The exchange stripped away any illusion about what drives these ICE agitators. After Jensen screamed "race traitor" at a Hispanic agent, he calmly explained they were hunting a child molester. She called him a liar. The other agent stepped in with a reality check: "If you actually cared, you would care about the child who got raped and also by the person who got murdered by the person we are looking for.”

That's when Jensen said the quiet part out loud. She admitted she didn't care. Then she pivoted to the standard talking point about how ICE should only go after "illegal, violent immigrants" before insisting "that's not what you are doing.” Except it was exactly what they were doing. They were literally chasing a suspect wanted for raping a child and murder.

“If you actually cared, you probably would care about the child who got raped and the person who got murdered by the person we’re looking for, but you see, you don’t care,” an ICE agent told Jensen.

“No, I don’t care,” Jensen admitted.

Hate to see Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed El Goatbanger get a hold of one of your loved ones. Or even you Ms. POS.


Swatting is an illegal act. It appears to be one of their favorite attacks on anyone who disagrees with them. But now it's gone too damn far. We have public officials swatting parents and children over legally protected beliefs and constitutionally protected freedoms.

Perhaps you should let her direct employer know that you don't tolerate this vile, despicable piece of shit excrement. She would fit in well at Planned Parenthood Murderhood.
Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 9.19.59 AM.png

It is time to wipe away the protected immunity these "civil servants" are entitled to. If you or I called Social Services or the Police we would be facing criminal charges as well as civil litigation.


Just a local cop trying to do his job. So I wonder who she calls when she is a crime victim?


And finally. So many things to say about the following clip and so little time. I bet this little bitch has never heard the word, "No". On the other hand she has padded her resume to enter a Poison Ivy League school.

The ONT Is Always Looking Out For You!TM

Eyeballing a weary porta-potty, the forlorn sentinel of county fairs and highway hells, Jeremy Barnett dreamed it into a deluxe ice fishing palace on Lake DuBay. Using foam strips, he armored the flanks, etched portals for pole parades, and installed a heater fiercer than a scorned snowplow driver.

118 We ate at an Italian restaurant in the fashionable district, not priced like the downtown joints, pizzas for $20 to $28, 12-inchers. No complimentary bread with dinner, and heavy corkage fees for those bringing something from the cellar. A little bowl with 5 slices and a tiny ramekan of herbed butter was $5. I wanted to ask if I brought my own loaf, would they charge me sliceage.

141 The asphalt scrapped off of roads being repaved is repurposed as a road covering called millings.

It does not hold up as well in rain as gravel, and easily self-assembles into a corrugated surface.

The reason upscale communities like it is because the dust from millings is less than the dust from gravel. So those with expensive cars want a little less dust from the road.

If it contained enough of any radioactive species that the heat of radioactive decay was measurable, let alone significant, it would be too "hot" radiologically, to be used for anything short of a dirty bomb.

198 The devolution of Neil has been slow yet steady. Musically he lasted much longer than most. He used to be almost a sort of populist but he became a knee-jerk leftist once he got old.

It was. Essentially everybody banged everybody, though in practice who you banged was assigned by the cult leader, who kept many of the most bangable women to himself. This caused some internal strain.

201 One really unique quality about Robert Duvall is that I don’t think I ever saw him appear in a bad movie, and yet he was in a huge number of great ones. I think he had the rare ability to read a script and know when the movie was gonna be great, and when he found one he’d work hard to get any part possible in it.
For example, you probably don’t remember that he was in Bullitt with Steve McQueen, but if you watch early in the film, McQueen takes a cab and asks the cabbie about a payphone call. Oh look it’s Robert Duvall! He’d take bit parts just to get into great movies.

202 Everyone of course follow their own tastes and druthers, but if you are interested in what I find the best winter Olympic sports (cross country, biathlon, speed skating, ski jumping, mainly), take out the crow bar, pry open your wallet for $11 for a month of Peacock (easy to cancel), and enjoy.

The crap that ruined Olympic coverage going back decades (focus on US athletes when they're not contenders, or interesting, "human interest" stories) - have not seen once second thereof. And the athletes in the above sports, plus hockey, seem rah-rah Americans, which is unsurprising.

The biathlon is fantastic, one of the two crews covering that and x-c is excellent and brings you into the action with real insights. Ski jumping and speed skating, the same.

And one interesting note. At the x-c venue (largest at this Olympics, and always packed), they cheer everyone, since the event is so obviously intense (most participants collapse just past the finish line, not common in sports). They even cheered the *Israeli* skier, who was last, the other day, as he came in.

Then it caught fire in a garage and he laid out another huge chunk to fix it. Haven't really ever heard any more about it.

Built in Paterson NJ. There's just something about those old steam trains. In the very early 80's the metal band Saxon wrote the song Princess Of The Night, basically lamenting the passing of the steam trains. The band grew up watching those trains at night in the UK running mail. The song is about a mighty one that ended up in a scrap yard with a bunch of others and were left to rot. Its still a popular song.

One of my favorites was Tender Mercies. Not really my kind of movie but Robert Duvall made it very watchable. I have that DVD too! He did a TV mini series called Broken Trail. A western. Also very good. Great actor. They just don't make them like that anymore. I put Duvall and Gene Hackman in that category.

You're talking resto mod. I can understand the theory of all the old charm but with modern goodies, but I don't like when they make the car unrecognizable, with interiors that look like they came out of a frigging bently, or body mods that start to leave the original look behind. I can see updating suspension, dropping in a modern power plant with mondo horsepower and getting 20mpg, but no farther. I also like them to just be rebuilt all original, but sometimes that just isn't easy with original parts bringing a king's ransom sometimes if you can even get them. My old car is original. 10-12 mpg, no AC, very minor mods like disk brakes in the front, slightly upgraded suspension that works with radial tires instead of the old polyglass, original radio. Thats it, its still mostly original.

I have only ever been in a stretch limo one time in my life, and that was when I was 15 and rode in one with my other girl cousins for my maternal grandfather's funeral. I mean, we had "fun", because we were a bunch of giggly girls and one of the drivers was a really cute guy, but still.

306 Remember Obama's 2012 Colombian prostitution scandal? Turns out, Jeffrey Epstein was involved...
-> [ that's the one with the Secrect Service drunk in the hall? ]

DoJ documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler - the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer.

Ruemmler resigned from Goldman when the Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with him.

Ruemmler turned to Epstein for advice on legal and reputational matters on how to respond to the 2014 Washington Post report accusing her of helping to suppress evidence of prostitution involving a rich kid White House aide whose daddy was a huge Obama donor.

Replies highlight the shooter's support for far-right figures like Rep. Thomas Massie and affiliation with the groyper movement, underscoring intersections of transgender identity, extremism, and libertarian politics in this case.

yeah my car is a 69 roadrunner with a manual trans. They came the bigger 11" police brakes from the factory, so it wasn't too bad, but still, drums suck. The entire brake system was new, but still, if you were coming down a long down hill in traffic, like a large bridge, and have to keep hitting the brakes you can feel it fading. I put disk brakes in the front and its night and day. I would thinking about the regular B bodies with V8s and 10 inch brakes and think wtf were they thinking.

336 Riding dirt bikes all my life and it's always the wealthy liberals that object to others having fun - in the coastal mountains just south of Half Moon Bay we were riding down an abandoned and ancient unkept narrow dirt road; likely a logging road built when loggers still used horses and wagons (redwood forest.)

We came across people riding horses, we slowed and throttled down, the jackasses all turned their horses ass-end to us so if the horses kicked we'd be murdered.

339 JQ. This was 1984ish. They were probably residents of Woodside - exclusive and very wealthy silicon valley bedroom community with the trappings of 2 acre horse pastures and stables. Even the general store was got-up to look like an old country hardware store. People like Steve Jobs owned homes there.

It was literally their way of constructing a fantasy hamlet on the edge of urban sprawl.

341 When I was down & out, unemployed and desperately job-seeking in/around Eugene OR. Stopped at a dive motel/restaurant and asked for a job app. Slow afternoon so I sat at a booth to fill it out. There were a couple of girls in another booth, couple of tables away. (Didn't interact with them, just noted their presence.)

Finished and handed my app to the lady at the counter, thanked her and started to walk away... surprise!

One of the booth girls was right there, in front of me, blocking my path. I stopped. Looked her in the eye. Sidestepped. Said not a word, and then continued walking out to my car. (praying the whole time that I wasn't going to get jumped & beaten up-- or worse-- for some imaginary "infraction"!)

I lived to tell this tale. LOL, kinda.

I'd check out the Andy Rooney segment every so often. And, sometimes, they'd have Charles Kuralt do a guest segment even though he wasn't part of the 60 Minutes regulars. Curmudgeons doing a news segment is always fun. Rooney, especially, used to appear digusted by most of the people he met. That always made me laugh.

Meet Punch — a macaque from a Japanese zoo with a difficult story

His mother abandoned him, and the caretakers raised him by hand. Later, he was moved into an enclosure with other monkeys, but he struggled to integrate into the group.

To give him some comfort, staff gave Punch a toy to replace his mother — and now he carries it everywhere.

After a viral video, visitors began coming specifically to see him, but he still plays alone, holding his plush “mom” close to his chest.

I adopted my current cats as a pair back when they were kittens. It's definitely the way to go! They're well into adulthood now, but I love watching them play stalk each other, chase each other, wrestle, groom each other, and settle down to nap together. A close sibling can provide companionship to a cat in a way that a human just can't.

Also there's nothing quite like lying in bed with a pair of cats snuggled up to you, one on each side.

Steve Hilton is surging to 1st place in the California Governor race leading the pack in this wide-open primary! Thanks to California's Top-Two system, the June 2, 2026 primary could deliver a Republican vs. Republican general election matchup, completely shutting out the Democrats.

This is a once-in-a-generation chance to flip the script on Gavin Newsom's catastrophic leadership and boot the insane Democrat field consisting of Katie Porter and Eric Fang-Fang Swalwell out of the running!

California could finally get a real MAGA Governor who puts America First instead of another Newsom-style disaster. The people are fed up this primary is a referendum on the Democrats who wrecked the state.

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!

I read the book when it was first published in 1973/1974(?) - got it as part of an order through Scholastic Books when I was in Junior High. I LOVED that book - so much so that I STILL have it.

I was excited, but concerned when I saw that they were making a movie of the book.

OMG - the movie was everything that I ever could have wanted and more. My daughters and I have a special bond through that movie - it is wonderful.

184 When i was 12 or 13, my buddy and I would catch carp in the local reservoir and bring them to the local Chinese restaurant and trade them for Chinese food. They ate them somehow. Also was camping once and fishing for Channel Catfish at night, but caught a bunch of eels. The Korean family camping there were happy to take them off my hands.

BREAKING: Anderson Cooper Set to Exit CBS News' '60 Minutes' -- Variety

This is like losing Robert Duvall all over again.

SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?

Thanks to beckster.

Shock: Democrats don't want to be seen around Biden, the man who garnered the most votes in American history, restored America's prestige, and presided over the "Biden Miracle Economy."

Former President Joe Biden will be feted by South Carolina Democrats later this month, to mark the sixth anniversary of his Palmetto State primary landslide, a comeback victory that rocketed Biden to the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and later the White House.

But with many Democrats still smarting from their party's major 2024 election setbacks, fueled in part by a very unpopular Biden presidency and the then-president's dropping his re-election bid amid serious questions about his physical and mental abilities following a disastrous debate with now-President Donald Trump, the South Carolina celebration appears to be an outlier.

As they seek office in gubernatorial and congressional races in this year's elections, nine candidates who served in the Biden administration appear to be keeping their distance from the former president, according to a new report from Axios.


Biden ended his presidency with approval and favorable ratings well underwater, and the 13 months since he left office have not apparently healed the damage done to his standing among those in his own party.

"Biden remains a liability," a veteran Democratic strategist who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, told Fox News Digital. "Being associated with the Biden administration is doing some candidates no favors as they run this year."

That's a switch from the 2018 elections, the previous midterm cycle when Trump was in office and the Democrats were out of power, when former President Barack Obama as well as then-former Vice President Biden were in demand on the campaign trail.
Joe Biden 2020 South Carolina primary


Among those not highlighting Biden this cycle is Deb Haaland, a former House member from New Mexico who served as Department of the Interior secretary in the Biden administration and is now running for governor in the blue-leaning state. The former president isn't mentioned on Haaland's campaign website.

Another example is Xavier Becerra, who served as secretary of Health and Human Services under Biden and is now running for California governor. The former president isn't mentioned in Becerra's campaign launch video.

Remember how Democrats conned this senile old fuck to abandon the race? They specifically promised him he would be hailed as a hero and praised from now until the end of all days.

Liars.

Even more shocking: Biden granted stealth "quiet amnesty," without congressional authorization, to nearly a million illegal aliens.

Officially, there are almost 3.8 million pending cases in the immigration court backlog, but more than eight years ago, at the outset of the first Trump administration, I suggested the true number of then-pending cases (a more modest 895,000) was higher than those official statistics displayed, thanks to a legal trick called "administrative closure".

As the BIA has described the practice: "Administrative closure ... is used to temporarily remove a case from an Immigration Judge's active calendar or from the Board's docket."

It continued:

[Administrative closure] is a docket management tool that is used to temporarily pause removal proceedings. Administrative closure is not a form of relief from removal and does not provide an alien with any immigration status. After a case has been administratively closed, either party may move to recalendar it before the Immigration Court ... or to reinstate the appeal before the Board. [Emphasis added.]

Put another way, administrative closure allows immigration judges and the BIA to shelve cases that it does not want to, or cannot, deal with, at least at the time of closure.

Another shock: Lisa Murkowski says she won't support the GOP-favored SAVE Act because she doesn't want to "federalize federal elections." (What?)

Smoking hot Congressbade Ana Paulina Luna points out she did want to federalize federal elections just a couple of years ago when Democrats wanted to "restore voter rights" by re-imposing onerous federal "pre-clearance" of laws whenever southern states, and only southern states, wished to change a voting law.

In other words, southern states, and only southern states, would again have to ask "mother may I?" from Congress to change the most trivial of state election laws.

"I want us to continue to reduce those barriers to Americans ability to vote," she said in a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, before the procedural vote, "whether it is geographic, whether it's logistical -- we certainly know about that in Alaska -- whether it's partisan, or some other form."

Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of democracy and American identity, Murkowski said.

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would reinstate parts of the Civil Rights Era-law that the U.S. Supreme Court overturned in 2013. The centerpiece of the bill would restore the "preclearance" requirement. Until the Supreme Court struck it down, it required states with a history of discrimination to get the Justice Department to sign off before they change their voting rules.

If you missed it: Rubio got a standing O from European Sitzpinklers after telling them to take the dicks out of their mouths and protect their civilization.


Indeed. The word vaquero, meaning cowboy (vaca meaning "cow") is a word first used in Spain and Portugal.

The vaquero (Spanish: [baˈkeɾo]; Portuguese: vaqueiro, European Portuguese: [vɐˈkɐjɾu]) is a horse-mounted livestock herder of a tradition that has its roots in the Iberian Peninsula and extensively developed in what is today Mexico (then New Spain) from a method brought to the Americas from Spain. The vaquero became the foundation for the North American cowboy, in Northern Mexico, Southwestern United States, Florida and Western Canada.

The cowboys of the Great Basin still use the term "buckaroo", which may be a corruption of vaquero, to describe themselves and their tradition.

Vaquero is literally pronouced backero. How is this a "may be" situation?

12 "...a very unpopular Biden presidency and the then-president's dropping his re-election bid amid serious questions about his physical and mental abilities..."


Just wondering. Does The Horde really believe that Joe Biden bowed out of the race by making an obscure social media post? Even at the time, it made no sense to me. More likely, some Kamala ally made the post, and Biden could then either choose to tell the world he wasn't in control of his own media account, or allow his handlers to have him bow out.

Normally, ANY candidate would call a PRESS CONFERENCE and MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT to the whole country, right?

21 It's literally impossible for cowboys to have been here before the Spanish because horses weren't here before the Spanish brought them

— Matt Walsh


Not exactly true. But the real truth is even worse for the Noble-Savage-worshipping white-guilt-loving woke Left:

When the first Asians crossed over the frozen Bering Strait tens of thousands of years ago and suddenly became Native Americans, there were horses in North America.

BUT...

The new natives never learned how to tame them or ride them.

Instead, they...hunted them.

...

... to extinction.

Ooops.

Took another 10,000 years before the Spanish conquistadors brought some horses with them to the new continent. Some escaped, became wild mustangs, and the rest is history.

88 I would have Peyronie's and whatever tertiary syphilis Bill has if I had to be married to Hillary. Is she nicer when she's drunk? Maybe that's the secret to dealing with her, gallons of Chardonnay. Get her drunk and let her fall down and whack her head.

I don't like Bill, but I sympathize with him being stuck with her for decades. Which I know is no excuse for Monica in the Oval Office, etc or his rapey behavior of others and adultery. However, she's torture enough and should be in Gitmo. Both as an evil person of corruption and to use to torture others when waterboarding fails.

Also! I have never seen another nose like that of Occasional Sandy Eruption of Blather Cortez, their new standard.

What is the deal with her nose? Unless in a garage where they inject tire silicone, I simply don't believe it is a normal rhinoplasty...and she needs one!

Her nose looks cartoonish. Like one Bluto from Popeye made from a frog, or one of those squished frogs in formaldehyde in a jar. Definitely a frog somehow, smushed on hot asphalt from a tire, then glued onto her face.

89 The story behind the unusual appellative, Cabeza de Vaca (Cow’s Head), which decorates the coat of arms of the illustrious Cabeza de Vaca family is quite interesting. The name was earned by a simple local shepherd who offered his service to King Alfonso VIII during an important battle that was the turning point in the Reconquista in the 13th century.

The Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa took place on July 16, 1212. The Catholic victory removed the danger of a Muslim invasion of the Catholic kingdoms and contributed to the ruin of the Almohad Empire.

102 Make the Crusades Great Again:

A letter describing the success of Las Navas de Tolosa to Pope Innocent III relates:

“The Saracen horsemen had numbered 185,000, as we afterward learned in a true account from certain servants of the Sultan whom we took prisoner. The foot soldiers were innumerable. On their side 100,000 armed men fell in battle, perhaps more, according to the estimates of the Saracens we later captured. Of the army of the Lord only some 20 or 30 Christians fell in our whole host – a fact not to be mentioned without the most fervent thanksgiving, and one scarcely to be believed, unless it be thought a miracle. What cause for joy and thanksgiving!

"Yet there is one cause for regret here: That so few in such a vast army went to Christ as martyrs.”

AOC accuses Israel of genocide in Germany where Holocaust was launched, sparking outrage
Benjamin Weinthal
Sat, February 14, 2026

In part, "Tom Gross, an expert on international affairs, told Fox News digital that "AOC has flown all the way to Munich — infamous as the city in which Hitler staged his Nazi Beer Hall Putsch that marked the beginning of the road to the Holocaust — in order to smear the Jewish people further with a phony genocide allegation."

Gross added, "Such preposterous allegations of ‘genocide’ form the bedrock of modern anti-Semitic incitement against Jews in the U.S. and globally. This shocking ignorance and insensitivity by Ocasio-Cortez should rule her out of any potential presidential bid or other high office."

Left out this quote is she has a BA in English, was a single mom, has a couple of DUIs, couched surfed for housing, has a degree in Indian law, failed the bar exam, was a counselor, a Indian casino manager, a Democrat party hack starting in 2012, and was appointed as Sec. of the Interior as a DEI hire by Biden. I affectionately think of her as Chief Dreamcatcher. Now she is running for NM governor. If she wins the state will instantly sink to being ranked lower than Albania.

2) When she was photographed falling down concrete stairs in Europe somewhere

I liked her as well being forced to sit by Bill when he said he did not have sex with "that woman." Then going to Marine One with ugly Chelsea between them.

Then waiting til the next day to concede to President Trump in 2016, after a rumored bender of screaming and throwing something at a tv. I would pay for that video, the moment she knew she lost!

I doubt I could last 5 minutes without wanting to slap her. I'd win. Easy pickings from what I've seen, unless they have her pumped full of primo stuff, which somehow cured her wonky eyeball.

The security goons stopped us before we could get anywhere near the hotel. One of them told us: "The general public can't get in to hear her. All the seats are reserved for donors and insiders."

I wrote and erotic poem, inspired by Fartman.


"While I screamed, she bent her lips and huge chompers to mine. Kissing and motorboating her huge pendulous and succulent hispanic titties with her delicious chocolate nipples hard as pebbles till veins imploded and exploded, till blood and hot sauce rolled down our chins, for bounded mouths cannot speak of parting and her juicy booty secreting her musky hispanic womanly scents."

Revealed: The Erotic Poetry of... Eric Swalwell?

Is it fart-porn? I understand he's a flatulence exhibitionist. Butt-trumpets right on national TV.


California gubernatorial hopeful Eric Swalwell once penned a graphic, sex-charged college poem boasting of lovers "kissing till veins imploded and exploded" -- with "blood rolled down our chins," according to a report.

gay-shout.jpg


The Democrat, now running for governor, wrote the eyebrow-raising piece when he was a 19-year-old student enrolled at Campbell University, where he contributed to the literary magazine "The Lyricist" and also penned a column for the student newspaper, according to Daily Mail.

The poem, titled "Hungover From Burgundy," describes two partners meeting atop a hotel before having "formless and magnificent" sex in a "flurry of limbs and nails," with the narrator appearing to relish being bitten.

gay-hawaii-gay-cleveland.jpg

"While I screamed / She bent her lips to mine," the passage reads...

That's "The Royal She." Xe means ximself.

... adding the pair kept kissing "till veins imploded and exploded ... For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting."

"And there beauty was, formless and magnificent -- a flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and she ran," Swalwell wrote in the poem.

"Atop my hotel she stopped, and I lept for cloth and tan, my anxious arm she bit -- my scar is beautiful."

Swalwell continued: "While I screamed, she bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, till blood rolled down our chins, for bounded mouths cannot speak of parting."

"In the morning, I awoke beside beauty's shadow -- her form sloppy and her legs pale. My scar lost, my lips cracked and dry. And we groaned simultaneously."

It's so gay my dick just asked about garrett's mountain bike.

I'm going to use my psychic powers to read Eric Swalwell's gay mind.

Thanks to Piper.

The delay is how to write a big, important decision that says nothing of consequence.

I have a theory as to why this Case is taking so long.

It comes down to the question of can Congress delegate a power given to it specifically in the Constitution?

They want to say no... but... in the 1930s Congress delegated Court Rule making authority to the Supremes.

And earlier delegated Money making to outside Banks...

So they are trying to figure out how to take away the Prezzys Tariff power, without neutering themselves... as Roberts will NEVAH rule against the power of the Courts.

Sorry... but there is no way that us Californians control our own elections anymore. The proof was the Newsome recall.

Every voter is sent a mail in ballot automatically. All you have to do to register is go online, put in a name and address, and check a box you are a citizen. They don't even follow Calif's own law about verifying signatures.

Note, Calif will NOT send it's voter data base to the Feds, and are fighting it in court... and you can guess why.

He said that moderate Dems are racist for voting Yes on an emergency border bill. Then he deleted the tweet, then doubled down:

"Instead of 'fiscally conservative but socially liberal,' let's call the New Democrats and Blue Dog Caucus the 'New Southern Democrats.' They certainly seem hell bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s"

In particular, he tweeted that some Native American Congresswoman enabled a racist system. She shot back, “Who is this guy and why is he explicitly singling out a Native American woman of color?”

He was out pretty quickly, supposedly to concentrate on the Green New Deal in another org.

The Media Whined That the Washington Post Cancelled Its World-Beating Sports Section.
The Media, You Will Not Be Surprised to Learn, Lied

By "sports," they meant what they mean in every case: DEI propaganda and gay communism bullshit.

They do this with every single entertainment men like. They fill men's entertainment with nonstop pro-gay, pro-feminism, pro-DEI propaganda.

So that's what was going on with the Washington Post's "sports" desk before they cancelled it.

Free Beacon's Andrew Stiles:


Angsty Journalists Said the WaPo Sports Section Was Indispensable. The Evidence Suggests Otherwise.

Recent 'sports' coverage highlighted Colin Kaepernick, climate change, racial equity, and the NHL's failure to adequately celebrate queer culture


The Washington Post shuttered its so-called sports section last week amid sweeping layoffs intended to transform the once-revered paper into a product that makes money because people actually want to read it. Doing what comes naturally, the journalism community shrieked in agony while denouncing anyone who suggested that a media outlet losing $100 million per year was not sustainable. Some journalists were particularly aggrieved by the demise of the sports section, which they hailed as uniquely indispensable due to the fact that some talented reporters had worked there several decades ago.

ESPN reporter Jenna Laine wrote that the layoffs were "so troubling" because they signaled that "the appetite for real sports reporting has died" as the industry continued "its slow, inevitable burn." New York Times reporter Ben Mullin wrote a eulogy for "one of the last bastions of great sports writing." More importantly, he explained, the Post was a "champion of diversity" and a "leader in women's sports coverage."

A Washington Free Beacon analysis of the Post's sports-related output in recent weeks did not find sufficient evidence to support these claims of journalistic greatness. Amid numerous offerings of gambling advice, the Post also published eight feature-length articles since Jan. 29 that--while technically sports-related--few normal American sports fans would describe as engaging content that must be published even if it means losing $100 million per year.

1) Hockey isn't gay enough

Days before the layoffs were announced, the paper's Washington Capitals beat reporter examined how the success of Heated Rivalry--the television series about two gay hockey players who have sex with each other--had made at least several people upset that the NHL wasn't doing more to elevate queerness and promote LGBTQIA2S+ inclusion.

2) NFL diversity police

As part of the Post's Super Bowl coverage, the paper expressed concern that the NFL was still "grappling" with its lack of diversity among head coaches. The story included quotes from NFL executives responding to diversity-focused questions from concerned reporters, and another from a black former coach, Tony Dungy, who said, "I try not to look at it in terms of race."

3) The enduring legacy of Colin Kaepernick

Sports reporter Adam Kilgore conveyed his agonizing displeasure with the fact that Colin Kaepernick--the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback best known for kneeling down to protest the national anthem--was not being widely discussed ahead of Super Bowl LX. Because the game was being played in Kaepernick's former home stadium--where he won roughly a third of the games he started--Kilgore argued there was no one "more relevant." The article included affirming quotes from four university professors specializing in social justice.

That's as much as I'll steal. See the article for more "sports" coverage.

It is actually funny but really slow pitches can be really hard for major league players to hit. I remember in the 70s a pitcher had a lob pitch and struck Johnny Bench out a couple of times with it. Third time up he blew it over the centerfield wall with a couple dudes on.

79 When I read about the job cuts at WaPo, I went back and reread the letter I sent them in 2008. It holds up.

This letter accompanies my decision to cancel my subscription to the Post. I doubt that you care, but you should. I...have subscribed to the Post all of my adult life. I have the newspaper habit, and I am the kind of person you won’t be able to replace. I am cancelling my subscription because I don’t like paying for something that I don’t receive, namely a newspaper. I get all the opinions I want for free from the internet. Over the years I have grown accustomed to filtering your coverage, but the filter has to be stronger every year. I am tired of trying to separate the spin from the facts. The outright propaganda you published this year has convinced me that there is no longer any value in your product.
I’m sure that you will warm yourselves with the idea that since you get criticism from both sides, you are being fair. However, I also have no doubt that in your hearts you know you are not fulfilling the most basic journalistic obligation of presenting the facts as they are, not as you think they should be.

RFKJr. Reveals Harrowing Evidence About the Extent of California Fraud

RFKJr. says that DHHS has discovered a hotel in which every single room is supposedly a home nursing business. Obviously, you cannot conduct business out of a hotel room. These are fictitious businesses that just use a hotel room as an "office" as the cheapest possible option.

He says that all these "businesses" do is "collect money" from the US government. And he says they're run by Somalis and that a lot of the money is sent back to the Somalis' favorite terrorist group, Al Shabaab.

Relatedly, the left is running an op against RFKJr., blaming his general skepticism for some vaccines for a recent measles outbreak. Note that he has never told people the measles vaccine is a problem.

While they blame "MAGA" Americans turning down the vaccine for the outbreak, they completely ignore the fact that Biden allowed 11-20 million third worlders into the country, very few of whom have gotten vaccines of any kind.



Daniel Friedman
@DanFriedman81

Two things happened in 2025:

1.) Trump appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy believes toxic substances in vaccines cause illnesses like autism.

2.) The US had its largest measles surge in decades, with 2276 cases of the disease, which can be prevented with vaccines, reported. The majority of infections occurred in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

Media stories covering this have trafficked in the assumption that there is a causal relationship between these two events, noting that outbreaks occur in "red states" and insinuating that measles is spreading among predominantly white, Trump voting Republicans.

However, there is another phenomenon that is connected to disease outbreaks, which these articles rarely mention: During the presidency of Joe Biden, over 8 million migrants entered the US by crossing the southern border, and millions of those people and the children they have had over the past few years are living near the border in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

The CDC does not report the demographics of who is infected with measles, which is why journalists are free to imagine the children of anti-vax MAGA voters getting extremely sick with preventable illnesses. However, if you look at the demographics of the areas where outbreaks are occurring, you will see that they have heavy Latino populations and large numbers of recent migrants.

On this issue, like many others, media has been misleading you.

They didn't so much figure it out as they were taught how to game the system.

The UN / US State Department / WEF is behind it all.

NPR did a series on this way back in the Obama 1st Term. They detailed all of the NGO Groups and Training that went into this. From getting the migrants mobilized to leave their countries to 'integrating' them into the 'systems' of the 'host' countries.

One of these days, I need to look and see if that was archived anywhere.

96 The Somalis are the scapegoats.... literally. They're too stupid to know that if/when the scam is uncovered it's they who'll be hung out to dry.

In Minnesota it was discovered that many of the state (and probably MN Congressional reps) were "on the take." They facilitated the Somali "day cares" and "learing centers" and made sure the federal tax payers were funneling their monies into the scams.

Every state's doing this. If there are politicians involved, there's fraud involved. Bet on it.

He recently said he'll never run for office again. That means he's already got his nest egg quite filled for his 'retirement.'

I wouldn't doubt there's an off-shore account out there with 10's of millions in it, just waiting for him to move to some Chinese town and work with their government.

I mean, it’s math at some point- right?

SS, Medicare, Medicaid, SBA right down the line. We’ve heard for years how they’re not sustainable. Now we are finding out why. So where’s the beef? Are they now sustainable or at least solvent?

I have never even made six figures, my IQ is literally over double the Somali average, and the "X services" scams are auto-laundering due to the money coming from an official business; so if they go all "uh well prosecution resources are scarce, so we're focusing on the 7-figure scams" -- or worse, just the 8-figure ones -- then the temptation to stop being the gullible sucker-chump getting fleeced will be fierce.

Leftists: Replacement Theory is a White Nationalist Conspiracy Theory
Also Leftists: The English Countryside Is Too White So We Have to Move Minorities and Migrants Into It

Remember, if whites move into areas where minorities live, it's either "colonization" or at best, "gentrification."

But when minorities move into white ares, it's "diversification" and "geographic justice."

The government has issued a report saying there are too many whites in the country.

The British countryside will become more welcoming to ethnic minorities under strategies being developed over the next five years.

National Landscapes, a charity mostly funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), has 46 landscapes, previously called areas of outstanding natural beauty. Management plans for each area are aiming to address the barriers faced by underrepresented and diverse groups to accessing the countryside.

Reports that have been published gradually since a Defra report in 2019 reveal that many communities perceived the countryside as "being for white people and middle-class people".


The 2019 report said: "The countryside is seen by both black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and white people as very much a 'white' environment. If that is true today, then the divide is only going to widen as society changes. Our countryside will end up being irrelevant to the country that actually exists."

The latest region to update its five-year management plan was Cranborne Chase National Landscape, which overlaps the boundaries of Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset. Its plan, published last month, said that it would "develop strategies to reach people or communities with protected characteristics such as people without English as a first language" and "diversity of ethnicity".

On Monday, National Landscapes published an update titled "Nature is for everyone".

Daily Mail:

The British countryside is in the midst of a diversity drive after a government-commissioned report found it was too 'white' and 'middle-class'.

Officials charged with managing some of the country's best known beauty spots have laid out a series of proposals aimed at attracting minorities.

The plans follow a review, ordered by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), which warned the countryside was seen as 'very much a white environment' and risked becoming 'irrelevant' in a multicultural society.

In the wake of the report, officials representing National Landscapes - including the Cotswolds and Chilterns - have now published a series of management plans that detail their proposals to attract more minority communities.

The Chiltern National Landscape will launch an outreach programme in Luton and High Wycombe targeted at Muslims.

One factor stopping ethnic minorities visiting was said to be 'anxiety over unleashed dogs'.

The Cotswolds National Landscape specifically mentioned the Defra-commissioned report and said it was now dedicated to changing its provision in an attempt to reach 'the widest demographic'.

In its own management plan, the Malvern Hills National Landscape said: 'Many minority peoples have no connection to nature in the UK because their parents and their grandparents did not feel safe enough to take them or had other survival preoccupations. This breaks down the oral traditions for learning.'

It added: 'While most white English users value the solitude and contemplative activities which the countryside affords, the tendency for ethnic minority people is to prefer social company (family, friends, schools).'

35 I don't see any mention of pubs above.

Pubs are important, and on the UK twitter I see that this is brought up as one of their biggest complaints about the countryside. Pubs serve alcohol, but mostly muslims feel unwelcome there and that makes them a safe space for British people. Muslims find that unacceptable -- it is a place where the British can be free of state oppression and conspire to reclaim their country.

They are trying to eliminate pubs as a strategic move. They have their mosques where they can speak freely about conquest, and do not want the British to have pubs where they can rally a counter revolution.

Minnesota is now interacting with the federal government on immigration the same way that Texas is. The surge was because MN refused to respond to ICE operations, so DHS had to use their own resources as backup. Local police are doing that now. ICE hasn't pulled up. Their office in St. Paul remains manned, and they continue to operate, just not with HSI in tow everywhere.

Texas has, by far, the most deportations in the nation because any time an illegal gets pulled over for a busted tail light, the police call ICE and have the illegal picked up and deported.

DHS forcibly deported 700,000 in the first year. BLS and Census data showed that 2.2 million left (both forcibly and willfully) in the first 8 months of the administration.

For a very long time (and still today) "white" people have not thought of themselves as a race. When Jim Crow was finally defeated, white people ACTUALLY BELIEVED (and most still do) in a colorblind world.

Trump is executing the largest deportation operation in American history without a single new law.

Because the problem isn't that Congress didn't pass another law saying that illegals aren't allowed in America, it's that enforcement stopped completely with only a small blip of Trump first term over the last 20 years.

Many of our problems aren't a surfeit of laws, but a lack of enforcement.

82 Last thread, with my standard amount of due diligence (zip), but with moderate confidence in memory (unusual), that infamous photo of a South Vietnamese police chief executing (proper use of term, for once - actually a summary execution) took place in Hue, not Saigon, and during the catastrophic (for the VC) Tet offensive.

I think the VC executed was involved in terroristic attacks on civilians (possibly including relatives of the cop) when the VC took over the Citadel and parts of the city.

Check out this doozy: "The charity said it had completed several projects to open up the outdoors to new audiences, including Northumberland Coast’s Generation Green 2 project which welcomed children from some of the UK’s most deprived areas to pick litter and build sandcastles on the beach."

To pick litter!

Allowing offshore money to filter into rabidly anti-American groups is collective suicide. Yet, it's being permitted. If there are efforts to stop it, they are either half assed, or being thwarted elsewhere. Stopping every deportation because some judge has decided it's better to keep the criminals among us isn't helping either. Even if, eventually, maybe, the illegal is jettisoned. Why prolong the inevitable?

🚨 NEW: A new poll shows Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain would get 10% of the vote

➡️ Reform UK - 25%
🟢 Green Party - 20%
🔴 Labour - 15%
🔵 Conservatives - 13%
🇬🇧 Restore Britain - 10%
🔶 Lib Dems - 10%

-------

As far as I can tell that's the only poll with Restore Britain in it.

3 years out from an election, without anyone but Lowe as a member, also showing Labour at 15%, behind the Green Party at 20%.

Restore would have to get a lot of candidates in line pretty quickly, all while Reform has pilfered most "right of center" politicians in England already, to actually perform at all in an election.

Very early days, but I'm pressing X for Doubt when it comes to Restore Britain having any real impact on English politics.

126 The jaw-dropping and crude, sometimes orwellian, level of racism that is now just accepted is possibly the most damning evidence of a dumbed-down society. If one didn't live through the "civil rights" era, it's hard to imagine how vile and outrageous all this is. Society itself underwent a very accelerated and notable transformation for the better (well, not so much in the "black community", which remains a disaster for them).

But even after amazing progress had happened, immediately the racist abuse of concepts and tools sprang up the drag society backwards. "Affirmative action". "Set-asides". "Preferences and quotas". All of them outrageous in themselves, wildly unconstitutional and the antithesis of the civil rights concept.

Possibly just a mirror reflecting the weird degradation of society and US institutions. O'Connor's (and SCOTUS's) comically awful affirmative action decision. Forced busing. And even, decades later, hilarious replacement of white people in almost all advertizing and similar contexts. With the collapse of education and transformation of major institutions into dumbed-down indoctrination and social engineering agents, hard to see a way out.

143 Two things to address some questions above.

1. They do not understand economics. They think GDP goes up when gov. takes money from productive class and give it to migrants (it does go up on paper but the P in GDP is product -- production. Nothing more is produced. The map is not the territory. They think a nation can get wealthy by spending without production.)

2. The ruling class of the West is stratified. The ruling class of the third world is stratified. Our "elite" go to Qatar or really any 3rd world country and think "these people are just like us" because they only talk to and interact with the elite of those places. They look at the working and lower class Americans and think "those people are just like the goat herders and cousin fuckers in Pakistan." The problem is stratification

So for them, the solution is to add more serfs to take more gov. money and the country gets rich. Well, only Amazon and Walmart, and the NEA get rich.

149 Prediction: An accelerating rate of Worldies dropping their masks and "White nationalists were right again."

Reasoning: The Worldies are, in fact, Luciferian enemies of all the nations*, and collapsing the most successful would nearly guarantee their victory. (It is not a bad strategy -- probably George Soros's, that guy is unfortunately smart.) This takes large elements of deception to pull off, since people do not want to have their distinctiveness erased from the face of the Earth. And, it is proceeding at different rates in different places, since MAGA has stalled their progress in America, with ambitions to roll it back. While the Clerisy (transnational professional class) is mildly bright with animal cunning, they are not smart enough to manage different levels of mask-dropping in different places in a hyperconnected world. So, they will have to accelerate their plans everywhere, pushing advantages and fighting against rollback with equal ferocity.

* Nation = People, Country = Land, State = Gov't; the Worldies always try to blur the distinctions to make their evil harder to even talk about intelligibly, but the Westphalian "nation-state" is not a redundant term.

163 It's not Homan v. Kristi. The obvious but never-discussed problem is the top-down decision to not just focus on criminal illegals, but to basically just sit there on the 95% of the problem (non-criminal illegals, both welfare-slugs and "hard working people who've been here for a long time").

DHS announced that start that collateral collars (non-criminal illegals encountered while searching for criminals) would be detained/deported, and that's happening. But the obvious unused tools - systemic approach to end the employment magnet in particular - tell the story, so far. Could be just a phased approach. But Trump is not immune to the disastrous/selfish/dumb Chamber of Commerce virus on this. See his (astonishing) remarks at the Iowa rally held, ironically, on the day the Big Beautiful Bill was passed.

164 This kinda makes no sense because I've seen multiple polls that show most Americans want all illegals deported, not just the "worst ones."

It's an ironclad rule of politics that if you're explaining, you're losing. Even if you're right. Maybe *especially* if you're right.

Trump correctly understood that explaining that killing a mother of young children (who lost custody after letting her wife torture them) and a nurse (who quit to become professional Antifa) was losing and moved to stem the bleeding. I have some personal experience in Minnesota; aside from Somalis illegals are a rounding error there. It's a very minor locale that was sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

Striking how his expression of concern for hospitality and ag businesses was met with silence from the crowd. But the statement surely reflected Trump's concern about effects on economic growth, rightly his main overall focus.

But if employer/govt.-focused action doesn't start soon, not a good sign (BTW DOJ sent a pretty stark letter to 400+ "sanctuary" jurisdictions last year expressly threatening prosecution of public officials under, IIRC, 8USC1324, the basic criminal statute for aiding/abetting illegals).

Now that the Epstein idiocy is wrapping up, possibly some of the hundreds of lawyers focused on that farce will now give life to that threat. Well, yeah, we'll see.

The new version takes that, films it like an A24 movie, and dials up the insanity on the characters to 11.

193 They tried this exact same thing -- trying to get ethnic minorities to go out in the countryside -- under the Obama and Biden juntas.

It failed spectacularly.

There was all sorts fo government propaganda trying to convince black people to go camping, go to National Parks, go long-distance hiking, go skiing, get out in the woods -- because those activities were just "too white."

Guess what: FAIL. The stats didn't change, after years of time-wasting effort.

Nothing is preventing anyone of any race from going out in nature if they want to. The "problem," if you insist on definig it as a problem (which I don't), is that blacks in general just don't want to go camping. Fine. Who cares? The only people who care are white liberals who feel guilt-ridden that their chosen hobby looks to too white.

How about this: Instead of trying to force black people to adopt your honkey hobbies, why don't you just start hanging. out with black people, if that would make you feel less guilty. Go to a black church. Get your hair cut in a barbershop in the hood. Go to rap concerts. Whatever. Just deal with your guilt by focusing on your own behavior, not by trying to re-shape society.

Restore would have to get a lot of candidates in line pretty quickly, all while Reform has pilfered most "right of center" politicians in England already, to actually perform at all in an election.

Very early days, but I'm pressing X for Doubt when it comes to Restore Britain having any real impact on English politics.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison,


There is not much difference between Farage and the current failure of a Tory party. Farage explicitly refuses to contemplate deportations.

The reason Reform has so much support right now is that it simply is not Labour or Tory. Once people see the real alternative, the support will go to Lowe. There are three years to get where Farage was one year ago.

Stupid is as stupid does, mama always said, and Bacon should learn that pardon authority is plenary, and the Supreme Court has repeatedly held the President has absolute authority in this area, and it isn't subject to legislative or judicial interference.

Reform has been getting increasingly hard lined on immigration over the last year or so.

I think they're talking about deportations now. I seem to remember some press release or other a few weeks ago.

But, the problems with Restore are structural. Reform has worked through that already. Best Restore can probably hope for by the time of the next general is to get a handful of seats and play spoiler in Parliament.

PYW had that same kind of weird sexual vibe that draws lonely women to Handmaid's Tale. The lead character is not hot enough to justify the attention she gets from men. Handsome surgeons do not chase after average-looking losers. That unreality suggested a Hallmark-type movie for lonely women to fantasize that they, too, can get Chad.

268 Here's my question:

I'm very worried that the anti-immigration, anti-Labour (i.e. "right") vote in the UK will be now be totally splintered between Reform, Tories, Restore, and Advance ( ot to mention smaller parties.) If they were all unified, they would sweep every election nationwide, what with Labour standing at 9% support.

But with a 4-way split of the "right-wing" vote, they runt he risk of losing to the Left, even though all combined they end up with 65% of the vote.

So my question is:

Under the parliamentary system, if not party reaches 50% of the vote, must they/can they form coalitions t put together a "government"?

O that, in a fantasy scenario, Reform+Restore+Tories+Advance get 55% of the vote, and Labour +Lib Dems + Greens get 45% of the vote, could the four right-wing parties agree to work together to forma government anyway, even though none of them individually got more than 20% of the vote??

My parents are huge Bronte fans, have collected a bunch of ephemera (stuff they owned), visited their house a couple of times etc. I am reading "Jane Eyre" to my mom right now, as a matter of fact (she's basically blind). But "Wuthering Heights" is a step too far for me. As someone said earlier, it has a Gothic horror feel to it.

I think people who love Bronte novels are fascinated by the sisters (and one live brother) strange upbringing, the trials associated with tuberculosis everywhere you looked, the poverty of being a curate's children, and their collective amazing grasp of the English language. I'm not sure the plotting of their books is necessarily all that interesting to many of their fans.

****************************************

Britain has an electoral system they refer to as "first past the post", which is identical to the American system of single-member "winner takes all" districts. It isn't proportional representation, as some here seem to think.

Restore and Advance or whatever won't win seats, but they might result in Reform losing enough seats that they otherwise would have won to deny Reform the majority that they're currently projected to gain in the next general election.

Nothing is preventing anyone of any race from going out in nature if they want to. The "problem," if you insist on definig it as a problem (which I don't), is that blacks in general just don't want to go camping. Fine. Who cares?

The hell with "liberal," they're actually communists. 42% of Democrats under age 35 say they're socialists, and given the extreme leftwing authoritarianism of today's left, that means they're straight-up Marxist communists.

Ed Morrissey posts about it:

ENTEN: ... Democrats who identify as very liberal or conservative. You know, there used to be a lot of conservative Democrats, right? Back in 1999, 26 percent of Democrats self-identified as conservative Just five percent said that they were very liberal. It was a smidgen, a smidgen, a smidgen. Now, that far left has gained considerably in power. Look at this. Now we're talking about a fifth of Democrats. 21 percent say they're very liberal. That conservative part of the Democratic Party, adios amigos, goodbye. Just eight percent. And when you combine the 21 percent who are very liberal with those who say that they're somewhat liberal, we're talking about three in five Democrats who identify as either somewhat liberal or very liberal, with the very liberals, a much larger portion of the party, the far left, which used to just be a smidgen within the Democratic Party, has gained considerable power, as you saw in New Jersey's 11th District.

BOLDUAN: What about Democratic socialists like the likes of, you know, we've got Bernie Sanders and -- or Zohran Mamdani here in New York City? Where does that line up?

ENTEN: OK. So, on a separate question where you -- essentially CNN asked this last year, which was, OK, Democrats who think of themselves as Democratic socialists. Among all Democrats, including those independents who lean towards the Democratic Party, look at this, we're talking about a third, a third of all Democrats who identify as Democratic socialist. Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani are not alone. They are a considerable part of the Democratic base at this point. And more than that, if you look at Democrats under the age of 35, they are nearly half -- nearly half of the Democratic Party. Look at this, 42 percent of Democrats think of themselves as Democratic socialists under the age of 35, just like Zohran Mamdani. That -- what happened to New York City is not some aberration, right? It is not something that just happened in New York City. It is something that we are seeing grow within the Democratic Party at this particular point, when we're talking about 42 percent of Democrats under the age of 35 identifying as Democratic socialists and a third of all Democrats, my goodness gracious.

The Democrats understand that the public does not like their gay communism agenda. So they sent out two of their most reliable liars, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, to wheedle insincerely about "getting it" on the unlimited illegal immigration they all supported (and continue to support), pretending they're ready to enforce some kind of border.

This is all a lie. They just need the lie to hold through the 2028 elections, at which point they will grant mass citizenship to all illegals so that they suddenly gain 30 million voters and will never have to answer to American voters again.

First the Beast Hillary, then the Gay Communist Obama:

Hillary now claims that she wants to enforce a border -- but "humanely."

What does "humane" border enforcement consist of, in her view?

Well, in one of the only two 2008 Democrat primary debates, she claimed deporting illegal aliens was "inhumane" per se and would only say that serious criminals should be deported. (Which we know is a lie, because Democrats fight tooth and nail to keep every foreign pedophile, murderer, and human trafficker in the country.)

She insisted we allow all "hard-working illegal alien families" to remain in the country because "they keep our economy going."

In 2024, all Democrat presidential candidates affirmed that not only did they want to keep every illegal alien in the country, they wanted them all to get free taxpayer-funded health care:

Our first gay president, Barack Obama, claimed as soon as he started running for the presidency, which was literally ten minutes after David Axelrod rigged an election to get him into office as a Senator, that he believed that marriage was between a man and a woman.

This was, obviously, a lie to keep the frogs from noticing they were boiling in gay communism. In 2011, now that the frogs were boiling and couldn't do anything about it, he admitted what we all knew his real position to be, Gay Marriage should be mandatory.

And so the dance now continues with Democrats who have always opposed any border enforcement whatsoever claiming they are now open to "common sense, humane border enforcement," which means none at all.

They just need to keep this lie plausible through 2028, and then they will swiftly act to ensure that no future "American" election is ever decided by Americans again.

16 Every indication I've seen is that the generic congressional ballot for 2026 will probably be, at worst, D+3.

You know what it was in 2018? The great sinking of the first Trump presidency because of a terrible midterm?

D+8.6.

Also, Democrats lost 2 Senate races in that midterm (senate races change the makeup of midterm electorates in the states that hold them).

This "too liberal" poll result meshes well with the idea that 2026 is not going to be some kind of grand Democrat victory. Because of gerrymandering, they may eek out a small majority in the House, but the Senate is morel likely to not change composition on net at all rather than anything else.

Saying "I'm sorry, we were wrong" ain't gonna cut it because you know they don't really believe it, it's just yet another dodge to regain power, and because even if they did mean it (they don't), it means their judgement is fatally flawed and they belong nowhere near power.

ICE is arresting aliens who've committed offenses which would be crimes even if citizens committed them. Many are uncooperative. They have chosen to not be enforced humanely. We are merely giving them that which they have chosen.

79 Humane border enforcement and common sense gun control use the same rhetorical trick to imply that these mean what you already believe but with reasonable limits. What humane border control means is a policy of unchecked immigration of people that come from anti-western cultures, while common sense gun control Is a demand for a complete disarmament of the population. And how could anybody be against this? After all it's being done for the children. The short version is this rhetoric is it is propaganda being spewed by an authoritarian leftism reminiscent of the deepest and darkest years of Stalin's Soviet terrorism.

97 I get the feeling this poll isn't remotely truthful in what's being reported; that the Democrat's are "too liberal." I think it's gaslighting. Giving the left room to politically maneuver, while claiming they're "moderating" when in fact they're not.

The play here is to make the rubes think they're coming to their senses about some of the far left, socialist, Marxist and communist horseshit they're all for.

IOW... it's safe to vote for them... because they're coming to their senses.

Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade


Exactly.

People falsely think "socialism" is just watered down, hay-facr semi-communist -- perhaps the midoint between capitalism and communism.

They couldn't be more wrong.

In factual reality (according to communist theory itself), the extreme form f economic totalitarianism nowadays commonly referred to as "communism" is really just socialism.

Think of it think way: The USSR (as its name states) was merely socialist. Want to know what socialism is? The UsSR is the prime example. Cuba is merely socialist.

The only country that tus far has come close to true communism was "Kampuchea" (i.e. Cambodia) in 1975-8. And we know how that played out.

True communism mean no private property, no nuclear families, no personal autonomy, no individualism, no guaranteed rights.

But only because a majority of racist, xenophobic Americans think we need to have borders and enforce them, is the not-so-hidden subtext. Also "orderly and fair" smacks of "safe, legal, and rare" which is to say they intend to deliver nothing to curtail the evil they are pretending to address.

They shall be bred by whomever the State assigns. That they shall carry the child to term, turn it over to the State, and be re-assigned to be bred again as the State needs organic machinery.

138 Possibly already covered, but "liberal" is a wildly inappropriate term, and has been ...... for decades.

Nothing touching on or related to "liberty" (or "open mindedness" or "tolerance", or any other squishy low-IQ self-referential fake virtue) has been part of any nominally "liberal" movement/party/candidate for a very long time.

And since we're on the topic of hopelessly lost orwellian language causes, "Marxist" is actually comically inappropriate to 99.8% of this catastrophic anchor around society's neck ("liberals"). With a gun at their children's heads, not 1 in 1,000,000 of these people could ID, discuss, or explain anything of Marx or Marxism. Not one sentence's worth.

Racist-totalitarian. Not bumper-stickerish, but clearly the accurate term. You can just assume all the fringe batshit nihilist stuff like "trans" etc. fit within that larger category, since of course the alien extremism among those sorts is uniform.

What the kids claim to want now, and what they claim will work this time! is no private ownership of income generating assets.

This is exactly what did not work in USSR and China -- people who can not generate income from their farm or business will not work and so people will starve, but the kids think they are going after private equity, guys like Musk, and the stock barons.

What I am saying is that the virus has adapted and they have a new definition of what they want. Not total ownership of your car, house, toenail clipper, etc. Now they only claim to be targeting passive income and this appeals to people with no assets (as well as those with a lot of assets that they can move offshore.)

I wonder if we could drive a stake into the pro-communist movement by telling women - who're the primary supporters - that, under communism, their wombs belong to the State. They shall be bred by whomever the State assigns. That they shall carry the child to term, turn it over to the State, and be re-assigned to be bred again as the State needs organic machinery.

When they react the age where they can no longer be bred, they shall be eliminated as surplus to requirements.

169 [i{The Democrats understand that the public does not like their gay communism agenda. So they sent out two of their most reliable liars, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, to wheedle insincerely about "getting it" on the unlimited illegal immigration they all supported (and continue to support), pretending they're ready to enforce some kind of border.

This is all a lie. They just need the lie to hold through the 2028 elections, at which point they will grant mass citizenship to all illegals so that they suddenly gain 30 million voters and will never have to answer to American voters again.

174 One Saturday session, forget which bill but had to be DOD Authorization or another national security/foreign policy bill that became 10-day long ordeals including Saturdays, Moynihan gave an extended disquisition on the floor for his amendment. The amendment would have further restricted trade with the Soviet bloc, IIRC. The theme was "selling the rope which would be used to hang us".

Since Saturday, there were dozens of senators actually present (nothing else to do). Moynihan's lecture was very interesting and delivered with his distinctive style. The gallery of tourists was pretty transfixed as I recall.

Of course the amendment was crushed when the vote came. Can't recall, but may have been one of the times in my experience, when Moynihan ended his lecture and called for a vote, that the gallery and several senators applauded, in appreciation for the witty and scholarly presentation.

207 These polls are totally unreliable. The fact of the matter is that the Left in total is so uneducated and dishonest that they don't bother to understand concepts, terms and labels. Instead they pick an accusation that has negative connotation and attached it to someone who embarrasses them, out debates them, or merely does something they have been instructed is bad.

Example: "You are a fascist." How many times has this term been invoked by a Leftist in response to enforcing the actual law? At the same time, someone with a microphone tells them that Socialism is good and fair. So, they immediately accept Socialism as something to strive for, without knowing what it actually is, or entails.

In short, you can poll a room of monkeys and expect substantive results if the monkeys are more interested in throwing feces around.

Rubio and AOC Offer Competing Visions of Foreign Policy, Realist Vs. Retard

Rubio told the "elite" of Europe to grow up and save themselves. Because we're less and less interested in saving them.

Speaking in Munich on Valentine's Day, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a blunt message to Europe's political class: reclaim your sovereignty, control your borders, and rebuild your industrial might before it's too late.

Addressing lawmakers, defense officials, and policy leaders at the annual security conference in Germany, Rubio said the United States is looking for "allies who are proud of their culture ... and able to defend it." His remarks drew sustained applause from the audience, as he framed mass migration and economic stagnation as twin threats to Western stability.

Rubio argued that unchecked migration is eroding the social cohesion necessary for national defense and long-term prosperity. "Armies do not fight for abstractions," he said. "Armies fight for a people; armies fight for a nation. Armies fight for a way of life." He warned that large-scale migration across Europe has strained welfare systems, unsettled communities, and weakened the political resolve needed to defend national interests.

Controlling borders, he added, "is not an expression of xenophobia. It is not hate. It is a fundamental act of national sovereignty." Failing to do so, Rubio said, amounts to abandoning one of government's most basic responsibilities and poses "an urgent threat to the fabric of our societies and the survival of our civilization itself."

While he stopped short of naming specific parties, Rubio criticized what he described as a culture of paralysis among Western elites -- leaders "shackled by guilt and shame," and immobilized by fears of climate change, conflict, or technological disruption. That mindset, he suggested, has led to policies built on ever-expanding government spending, reliance on foreign imports, and what he called an unsustainable migration model.

The secretary laid out an alternative: a "high-tech, low-migration" strategy centered on innovation, productivity, and secure supply chains. He called for reindustrializing Western economies, investing in advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, commercial space, and industrial automation, and developing independent access to critical minerals rather than depending on geopolitical rivals.

The speech was well-received -- Rubio got a standing ovation.

Guess who didn't like it? The gay communist American propaganda press.

Maxwell Meyer
@mualphaxi

The NYT has come up with an amazing critique of Rubio's Munich speech. In short: "akshually, your appeal to shared Christian heritage between USA & Europe is false because we replaced the Christian population with Afghans"

Didn't see this one coming. I'm impressed.

The Times, speaking for those technocrats who are in love with the Great Replacement, crows that Europe is de-Christianizing, and that the Jewish population barely exists there, while Islam is on the rise.


Christianity is declining across much of the continent. In Europe's three largest economies -- Britain, France and Germany -- less than half of residents now identify as Christian, according to survey data by Bertelsmann Stiftung, a nonpartisan foundation. The ranks of the religiously unaffiliated are growing, according to data by the Pew Research Center and others.

After a decade-long influx of migrants from the Middle East and elsewhere, the share of Muslims across Europe has ticked up, to about 6 percent in 2020, according to Pew. The Jewish population has declined slightly and remains below 1 percent.

1) The Great Replacement Theory is a far-right white supremacist conspiracy theory

2) Okay there's a little replacement going on but it's small and manageable

3) Okay the Great Replacement is in full swing and it is AWESOME

We are at #3.


Alexandria Donkey-Chompers, on the other hand, revealed herself again as a giggling buck-toothed stuttering imbecile.

Here's more of Donkey-Chompers, and also Michigan Fantasy Presidential Hopeful Gretchen Witchmer, giggling nervously when asked one of the most obvious, guaranteed foreign policy non-surprise questions, about what a "victory" in Ukraine would consist of. You will literally cringe with secondhand embarrassment.


She also called for a full embrace of the Great Replacement, saying that Western culture is "very thin" and we need to embrace "class-based internationalism" as a Great Replacement of Western culture.

I'm not an expert on the history of cowboys -- I'd like to be, but I'm not -- but most are saying that Rubio is right to say cowboys evolved from Spain's vaqueros.

Which, by the way, is where the word "buckeroos" comes from.

Marco Frieri
@MarcoAFrieri

13h

American cowboy culture can be traced back to Spain's vaquero culture, brought to the continent through its colonial presence in Mexico.

I don't understand why AOC is trying to rewrite this. It just makes her look bad.

Because the entire mission of the left is to claim that Western culture produced nothing and everything was created by "the Global South." That's why the BBC now features black Viking queens.


Rubio didn't stutter or giggle or go into a little girl voice to elicit sympathy so that people would overlook his complete incompetency.

Happy Washington's Birthday! I've got some chewy posts all done for the day so I can take a half day off. To honor General Washington, of course.

Winning the Democrat Primary is about name recognition and energizing the black vote, never about intelligence (Joe Biden), good ideas (Bernie's coalescing of everyone but the black vote twice), or morality (Hillary).

AOC could get the nomination at some point, and once with the nomination she probably has at least a 40% chance of becoming president.

The term "Paniolo" is derived from the Spanish word "Español," meaning Spanish or Spaniard, and reflects the cultural exchange that occurred when Mexican vaqueros were brought to Hawaii in the 1830s. These vaqueros taught the Hawaiians the skills of cattle ranching, roping, and horsemanship, which were essential for managing the growing cattle population....

Because they ARE white.

Most of them also speak English (and often don't speak any Spanish but what they learn in school). Many families have been Americans for 150+ years. They see their heritage like Germans or Polish descendants do- something to enjoy and celebrate but not their entire identity.

Which is why the left gets really angry that they don't see "Hispanic" as some oppressed, overbearing identity. (The ones who DO use it that way are already on the left and compete for oppression points. Without the left's divisive aims, they'd be like the rest of their community.)

103 There were no horses in America until the Spanish re-introduced them. In a weird twist of fate, horses originated in the Americas. Some migrated over the Bering bridge and into Europe and Asia, where they flourished.

But horses eventually died out here. There were no horses here for thousands of years before the Spanish re-introduced them. American Indians did not ride horses until the Spanish came.

When a racial group votes as a block and for one party at 85% levels consistently for decades, they get a lot of say in the direction of the party. They get preference for things like patronage, and major candidates have to do a surprising amount of rhetorical pleading in the primary phase.

Yes, they can take them for granted in the general for a long, long time, but the incentive structure within the party is to kneel to them over anyone else. White voters may end up splitting a hundred different directions over a hundred different issues, but black voters will just say, "Buy my vote with supplication," in the primary.

148 Alexandria Donkey-Chompers, on the other hand, revealed herself again as a giggling buck-toothed stuttering imbecile.

She demonstrated herself to be an idiot several years ago - when Amazon proposed putting HQ2 in New York City, Amazon was looking at a $25 billion state and local tax bill over the next twenty years, and negotiated a tax break of about 10% of that amount - $2.5 billion.

Reasonable people can disagree on whether that was a good idea or not, but when AOC and others blocked the Amazon HQ, AOC sent out a tweet proudly announcing that NYC now had an extra $2.5 billion to spend on schools and subways.

There's obvious concern that certain issues are hurting the party. Hillary saying that mass migration went too far is a signal of that.

However, the party actually with their hands near the levers of power keep talking about defunding ICE instead.

Certain issues either need an outside voice to clear the deck of insanity (the Trump but Democrat option), or the issue needs to honestly just fall off the radar for years.

Democrats should be rooting for Trump to fix immigration on a certain level, because then they can ignore it, paying it bare lip service, and then talking about taxing billionaires as their newest path to power again.

Pretty much every species of megafauna in the Americas that wasn't incredibly prolific and also an absolute badass got wiped out.

Boys practice roping
The days fades away
The night rolls on
Lives of pride
Men who ride
They keep the old skills
That came up the trail

Horses were reintroduced to North America by Spanish explorers, starting with Christopher Columbus in 1493 and later by Hernán Cortés in 1519. These horses quickly became integrated into Indigenous cultures across the continent.

So yeah, the Spanish introduced cowboying. And what is with slaves? Africans did not ride horses.

Reasonable people can disagree on whether that was a good idea or not, but when AOC and others blocked the Amazon HQ, AOC sent out a tweet proudly announcing that NYC now had an extra $2.5 billion to spend on schools and subways.

Uh, that's not how tax breaks work, idiot - she actually thought that New York was going to be writing a check to Amazon.

Because what she says is irrelevant--she displays the proper tribal signals and phrases at the opening, so she is "one of us" and nothing else she does is bad or wrong.
I mean, she could have ended her speech with, "and I'm going to kill all of you, chop you up and feed you to pigs while I sip champagne and laugh" and they would have cheered.

Another example, they had a man pretending to be a woman as the authority on how protecting women's rights means full acceptance of men pretending to be women.

You just KNOW that the conversation between the pasty white commies that ran Punahou went like this.

"Our basketball team sucks. We're getting our asses handed to us by those brown kids at Ilima Junior High School. We need a ringer."

"Why not that negro kid who hangs out with the other stoners? Negros are good at basketball!"

"Brilliant!"

316 Oh, and furthermore: Federal level taxation was repeatedly deemed unconstitutional, so to get around that they actually idid have to amend the Constitution to allow taxation, with the 16th Amendment.

BUT -- the 16th Amendment only allows for the taxation of income, not existing assets. Here it is verbatim:

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

So all the previous rulings declaring taxation unconstitutional would still obtain when it comes to a wealth tax n existing assets.

330 316 Oh, and furthermore: Federal level taxation was repeatedly deemed unconstitutional, so to get around that they actually idid have to amend the Constitution to allow taxation, with the 16th Amendment.

BUT -- the 16th Amendment only allows for the taxation of income, not existing assets. Here it is verbatim:

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

So all the previous rulings declaring taxation unconstitutional would still obtain when it comes to a wealth tax n existing assets.

I think you can win about 95% of the arguments with the Left if you could just force them to define their terms. You would find out they either don't have a clue what they are talking about or they would accidentally tell the truth and lose about 80% of the adults listening.

347 Somewhat off topic, but speaking of Spanish, the messaging out of this White House has been rather lousy. In 2002 and 2003, the last time we had budget surpluses to give away money through the tax code, there was a $600 credit for every filer. People would come to my office and ask if they could get "Lo del Bush," which if you are bilingual is funny double entendre, but the point is Bush got all the credit for this mini stimy. This year so many Spanish speaking filers are getting huge tax benefits from Trump's no tax on tips and no tax on overtime policies. (There are bad policies if you believe in the old Reagan-Rosty system of broadening the base to lower rates and no carve outs, but that is beside the point.) No one gives Trump any credit. When I mention it's because of Trump, they don't acknowledge it. They need a Rove or Axelrod or someone that knows messaging, not to change policy but to get credit for what they are doing. And Trump needs to be positive.

THE MORNING RANT: The SBA Will Stop Lending to Non-Citizens

While I sometime grimace at President Trump’s social media posts, it appears that (intentionally or not) they also keep his adversaries so distracted that major conservative victories go virtually unnoticed by left-wing outrage mobs. As Democrats and the media have flailed like a cat chasing a laser pointer, accusing Trump of being all the epithets that end with “-ist” and “-phobic,” Trump keeps racking up victories on core conservative issues.

Ace documented one major victory a few days ago in a piece titled, “Trump Ends Obama Executive Order Giving the EPA the Power to Regulate Carbon Dioxide Without Any Congressional Authorization.” From the much-despised start-stop ignition feature in your car, to the industry-crushing environmental regulations based on CO2 being a “pollutant,” the environmental command and control structure imposed by Barack Obama is hereby terminated.

Now, another major America-first action has just been taken, as Kelly Loeffler, the Administrator overseeing the Small Business Administration, has just announced that SBA funds will only be loaned to companies 100% owned by US Citizens. As documented in an SBA Policy Notice effective March 1, 2026, “SBA is requiring that 100% of all direct and/or indirect owners of a small business applicant be U.S. Citizens or U.S. Nationals who have their Principal Residence in the United States, its territories, or possessions.

This further tightens SBA controls regarding the funding of businesses owned by non-citizens. It was just a year ago that Administrator Loeffler announced a series of reforms requiring majority ownership by citizens, along with proof of citizenship, as well as a new prohibition on SBA lending to illegal aliens. At that time, she also announced that the SBA was moving its offices out of “sanctuary cities” which are in defiance of federal law.

While there has certainly been SBA fraud, including the diversion of funds to foreign countries, the issue is more so about prioritizing Americans, and not using taxpayer dollars to create businesses which then employ foreign labor. It just logically doesn’t make sense for the federal government to provide the capital and lending risk for a green-card holder to buy a hotel or convenience store, and then have it staffed with H1B labor or foreign nationals from his home country. That process results in a loss of jobs for U.S. citizens, not increased jobs.

Legal U.S. residents who are citizens of other countries are still free to start businesses here, but they must find the start-up capital through their own networks. The purpose of the SBA is to provide taxpayer-funded loans to businesses that will provide jobs and wealth creation to U.S. citizens. President Trump and Administrator Loeffler deserve praise for putting proper controls back on SBA lending.

*****

They Never Stop. They Never Sleep. They Never Quit.*

My latest piece at The American Spectator, “Blue States Are Moving Legislation Forward to Restrict How Much You Can Drive,” has been published.

The blue states that have been most enthusiastic about getting you out of your gasoline-powered car during the failed “EV transition” are already moving on to the inevitable next battle against personal driving freedom. Legislation is being introduced in Democrat strongholds to set mileage caps and/or to impose punitive mileage taxes on those who persist in wanting to drive a car.

This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

Defeating the EV mandate and compelling automakers to refocus on gasoline-powered vehicles was a huge victory. But it was just one battle that we won, not the war. The battle to preserve our driving freedom continues, and we must stop the momentum of those trying to impose mileage caps and mileage taxes.

(*”They never stop, they never sleep, they never quit” is a quote from the great Michael Walsh on the left’s dogged persistence in imposing their anti-freedom agenda on the rest of us.)

Ok, a couple of things here:

1--Great example of how little Congress has ever been interested in "America First". The authorizing legislation for the SBA SHOULD have included a "100% owned by US Citizens" clause.

2--If "The Administrator overseeing the SBA" can put this restriction in place, a future Administrator can remove it. "Our" Congress needs to get off its butt and start codifying these common sense changes into law.

What if we Americanized this idea?

For instance, we know that effectively all of our Medicaid system is just one big fuckin' rakeoff. For way less than the rakeoff for that, we could repurpose a bunch of outlying territorial possessions as Islands for the Insane.

These could be awesome places, for less $$$. Thrice-daily buffet service, (well-paid) Asian ladies to do manicures for the vagrants and pharma-mutants, and maybe the Trump Org could design the living quarters and golf courses.

Who wouldn't want to live there? And who wouldn't want to spend less $$$ and also actually get them away from us?

103 How are they gonna know how many miles you drive?

Ostensibly, you will report it annually. But as others have noted, your car already records it, whether on an odometer or (for most if not all modern vehicles) in an onboard computer. If your state has an annual inspection requirement, they will add those records to what the inspector has to record, thus providing a crime to charge you with if your report differs from theirs.

After a short period to forget their promises that it would never be automatic, modern vehicles will be required to report this data automatically, accidentally also reporting all other data the vehicle collects. They will do this either by literally requiring every car have built in cellular communications; by setting up collection receivers at strategic locations to pick up shorter-range BlueTooth or WiFi-like transmitters; or perhaps even by building a proxy server into your toll transponder.

Like Vehicle to Grid, none of this is secret. It just isn’t publicized.

124 Buck, from the Morning Report (via Free Press today)
----------------
Another victory lap for Buck:

A $5.8 billion Ford-backed battery plant in Kentucky has been idled just months after opening, leaving 1,600 workers unemployed, with the company citing slowing EV demand amid Trump’s elimination of EV tax credits. Governor Andy Beshear blamed the president, saying, “Those are 1,600 Kentuckians that lost their jobs solely because of Donald Trump pushing that big, ugly bill.”

----------
That's right, Beshear wants Kentucky not to blame him for this big loser of a plant, or the free market, noo.... It's the ending of federal subsidies, and Trump is the Bad Man.

Historic plates on both. No inspections. Many cops I know have classic cars as well. They pull up to you at a stoplight and yell, "nice car!" Many states tried some crap in the 90's, trying to take "classic cars" off the road. The sponsors of those bills were not happy with the, uh, backlash.

156 A lot of improvement has been made since that 100 year event.

Not really. There have been some improvements on the margins, such as weatherizing delivery of natural gas, but the percentage of reliable vs. unreliable energy sources has only gotten worse.

During the last cold event a few weeks ago, we hit something like 90% capacity on reliable energy sources. Fortunately, it was neither as cold nor as frozen as Uri. But if we had the Uri combination of freezing rain followed immediately by heavy snow and days of single-digit temperatures, the Texas grid would fare even worse than it did under Uri.

Our reliable reserve continues dropping, while power requirements continue to rise.

181 Capping allowable miles is bullcarp.
But taxing per mile is the right way to go - much better than taxes based on the value of the car or the pricier gasoline. It's taxing based on usage - which, given that car taxes should go to maintaining the things on which those cars are driven, is pragmatic.

Now, you will have to eliminate gas taxes. Because that's ostensibly how it's done now. And that would make EVs equal under the law, as it were.

Saw an amusing little chart at some other blog -

Two Columns,
White People ... and ... People of Color

Under the column were about a dozen different pics of skin, hair, eyes, of various ethnicities.

Bottom line - They are calling the wrong people "POC".
It was obviously racist.

199 The whole idea behind the EV craze was to limit who could travel and how far they'd be permitted to go. There's a likely reason why Buttplug's DoT didn't get any charging stations built with the billions he was given.

I mean, another reason other than fraud.

It would have extended the range people with EV's (which the government was hoping would be everyone) could travel. The left is all about control. Letting the public be able to travel at will is just not who they are.

202 >>California can tax anyone traveling to the state for work, but chooses not to, thus far. That will change in the near future, I'm guessing.

Right. Imagine a CPA lives/works in Florida and is licensed in Florida, but does the weekly/monthly accounting and the annual business tax return for a corporation located in California.

The CPA will be required to pay the state of California tax on the annual income he/she receives from that client.

It's coming.

203 Capping allowable miles is bullcarp.
But taxing per mile is the right way to go - much better than taxes based on the value of the car or the pricier gasoline. It's taxing based on usage - which, given that car taxes should go to maintaining the things on which those cars are driven, is pragmatic.

Now, you will have to eliminate gas taxes. Because that's ostensibly how it's done now. And that would make EVs equal under the law, as it were.
Posted by: GWB


It should be weight of vehicle X miles to reflect wear and tear on the roads... which the current gas tax does for all ICE vehicles.

It’s possible that one of the cobs is banning someone on this thread; it’s also possible that an existing ban is doing it.

______

Many states do the same thing, albeit not as aggressively. If you earn income while in a state, you can be taxed by that state for the pro-rated portion of the income even if you aren't a resident. There's nothing even controversial about that.

People that travel a lot for work have been dealing with this for decades. If you're a consultant, and spend X days in State Y, then you are most likely on the hook for taxes to Y for those X days. You will probably get a discount on your resident state's taxes, though, for the time you were outside the state.

Yes — but only temporarily on most vehicles.
Manufacturers are required to make the system default to ON at every ignition cycle, so the built‑in disable button only lasts for that drive. Pressing the button (usually marked with an A with a circular arrow) sends an inhibit signal to the powertrain control module, but the setting resets when you restart the vehicle.

Devant la glace," also known as "Before the Mirror," is an oil painting by Édouard Manet completed in 1877. It is currently housed in the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.

The woman is shown from behind, creating an intimate and voyeuristic perspective as she admires her reflection while undoing her corset.

The painting's style is characterized by a blend of realism and impressionism, emphasizing light and atmosphere.

It wasn't until the third movie that people started to realize how overrated they were. The first two weren't that much better than the third. It's just that by the time of the third, it was no longer necessary to dicksmoke these mediocre mob movies.

So, these authorities informing people of the correct opinion are either massively influential, convincing people of opinions they don't have, or they have no influence at all, and their opinions on boring, ugly things don't actually move other people.

214 Late to the thread, dammit!

I like this one as an example of Impressionism. The swirling brush strokes and discrete colors manage to blend into an image that resonates. The woman's figure of course but also the hint of wall paper and mirror frame without being literal is effective at creating a mood. And there is a sense of movement as she finishes cinching the gown.

Part of the appeal for me is she doesn't seem to be an ingenue preparing for a dance, excited with anticipation. Her arms with a few wrinkles suggest an older woman checking to see if her image in the glass matches her memories of what it is supposed to be.

I believe there is a line from Heinlein that "there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart".

If we're on movies - lemme tell ya this. Don't watch a movie called "The Badge." They should have saved a couple letters and called it "The Bad."

I watched it because it has Billy Bob Thornton, and I like some of his movies. Wrong bet.

This movie was slow.

The characters were all broad caricatures except for his, and that was still pretty bad; even a decent actor can only do so much with shit writing and flat interactions with people like Patricia Arquette and William Devane playing straight to type.

The plot was insanely stupid, and the denouement rendered the entire movie pointless - I suspect the studio wedged in some new ending after it tested poorly, because it's a trainwreck.

And last but not least, this was a preachy, proto-woke (this was 2002), nonstop fuckin' lecture about hatred and bigotry in America's heartland against homosexuals and trannies. Pukeworthy social scolding about a problem that doesn't and didn't exist.

Saw "Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die" yesterday.

Eh, I give it a B or a C, I vassalage on this opinion, because-

It pretty much a mess. The guy who wrote it pretty much said to himself, "I like Terminator 21 and 2, and 12 Monkeys, and The Matrix and a bunch of other SF movies and I sure hate the suburbs and I'm gonna throw them all together in a crazy comedy.

Also the script seems like it was about 3 scripts mashed together.

It's hard to explain why without a lot of spoilers, so I guess I'll avoid doing that.

I will say that the basic idea behind the film is great and would be a classic if well-done.

This was not well done.

See it if you have a high tolerance for silliness and illogical plotting.

Costa-Gavras' film Z holds a special place in my heart. Overall, the film is appallingly amateurish, ham-handed commie whining about the bad old conservative Greek military junta. But when the villain gets into hot water over the murder of an opposition commie politician, all of the commie prosecutors and witnesses get arrested, commit "suicide" or are thrown down elevator shafts.

That commie Costa-Gavras sure did produce the feel-good foreign film of 1969.

Also, the derangement of the two main characters is dialed up to 11.

Bad acting, cheap special effects (although considering the micro-budget they had to work with, they did a great job), Vietnam War cliches (for Dog's sake, stop using CCR's Fortunate Son in the soundtrack).

And it's awesome, if only for the scene with two T-rexes vengefully rampaging through a secret Soviet base in the Vietnamese jungle, eating commies like Michael Moore scarfing down a bag of Oreos.

The Morning Report — 2/16/26

GreasedHeinie.jpg

Good morning kids. Hope you all had an enjoyable Valentine's Day weekend. With that in mind we kick off the week with terrorism at home and abroad and how they are linked, politically and perhaps quite literally.

First to a train in Brussels.

A short video clip filmed at the beginning of February has made its way onto social media, showing a pair of vacationing mothers from Alabama and their two 12-year-old daughters, who were confronted and terrorized by a knife-wielding man aboard a train in Brussels, Belgium.

Amanda Hardy, one of the mothers, later told reporters that a man emerged from the train car bathroom and approached them, first asking whether the women were American. He then asked, Hardy recounted, “‘Do you like ICE?’ And we did not respond to that. He then pulled out a knife – our estimation is about 18 inches long or so. He then threw down a jacket and a scarf on the ground, and that’s when he said, ‘F__ ICE, I can shoot too. I shoot faster than Americans.’”
. . .Hardy and Sucher reportedly believe this happened to them because they are American and because of their perceived political beliefs (hence the question about ICE). I think it’s clear that this is so. As for the perpetrator: the lack of even a rough description in the media, the presence of an 18-inch knife, the casual terrorizing of women and children in public… Add an unsympathetic police force to the mix, and all this points to the usual suspects – and it’s not indigenous French men.

Yes, and considering this is Belgium which will very soon become absorbed into the global Islamic ummah, it's most likely that the perpetrator was indeed a Muslim. And yet, something to me stinks on ice (pun intended). No doubt the situation in America and in particular Minnesota is getting global media coverage and so the perp was likely a swarthy third-worlder. But then again he could've been an American leftist who, upon hearing either the victim's southern accent or even a snippet of her conversation with her fellow travelers decided to snap into action.

Europe is after all the birthplace of Islam's political kissing cousin and current ally of convenience, Antifa.

A 23-year-old Frenchman has reportedly died after being severely beaten by Antifa terrorists during a violent confrontation in Lyon on the evening of February 12, according to local reports and messages shared on social media. The incident took place near Sciences Po Lyon in the city’s 7th district, where a conference was being held by Rima Hassan, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) representing the ultra-left-wing party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed).

Members of the female-led anti-mass migration activist group Collectif Némésis had gathered outside the venue to protest Hassan’s appearance. Tensions reportedly escalated between them and counter-protesters described as far-left militants. The situation devolved into a street brawl.

Meanwhile, far from Brussels, the insanity is sprouting all over back here in the US of A...

A woman was captured on surveillance video attempting to set fire to a warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri, that had been rumored as a possible immigration detention facility. Footage shared by local outlet KMBC shows the woman, dressed in sandals, jeans, a short-sleeve black shirt, and carrying a small backpack, pouring an accelerant along the side of the building before striking a match. A second container of accelerant is visible near her feet.The warehouse is located within the 49 Crossing industrial complex and had previously been considered for sale for potential use by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as an immigration detention center. However, the property owner, Platform Ventures, announced Thursday that it would not proceed with the sale. . . The arson attack comes amid heightened tensions nationwide over immigration enforcement and the expansion of detention facilities. In recent months, leftist activists have clashed with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at various sites across the country, including protests that escalated into confrontations outside detention facilities. Federal officials have also confirmed investigations into organized anti-ICE activist networks.


And here's a two-fer from the Oscar Hammestein "You've Got to be Carefully Taught Dept. Firstly:

Eighth-grade students at a Minnesota middle school were taught in geography class that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents use “tricky & violent tactics,” and were given extra credit for watching a British-produced video on the problem of illegal immigration in the United States.

Materials obtained by Defending Education show that the students at Hermantown Community School were given a highly politicized lesson on illegal immigration and ICE operations. The materials included a PowerPoint that adopted left-wing talking points on immigration and a video produced by a British broadcaster on ICE operations in Chicago.

The instruction at the Duluth-area school took place in December 2025 and featured a PowerPoint where students were asked: “In what ways do people think the Ice agents have ‘gone too far’?”

. . . “It’s bad enough that this biased lesson is replete with falsehoods — but [for] the school principal to defend such garbage truly adds insult to injury,” she said. “Students are being force-fed ideological propaganda during finite lesson time (when they’re not being encouraged by activist teachers to walk out of their classrooms, that is) and told what to think, rather than how to think. It’s little wonder that families are fleeing the public education system in droves.”


Number two, thank goodness for the sanity of our military, eh?

Few organizations know more about leadership than the United States Army. Yet for years, the Army paid an outside consultant for instruction on the topic: A fly-by-night company co-founded by a Pakistani who sits on the board of an organization once linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Between 2021 and 2025, the Army Corps of Engineers shelled out $1.7 million across eight contracts to the vaguely-named Nonprofit Empowerment Group. The group is actually a for-profit, bare-bones operation configured to scoop up federal contracts using woman-owned “set-asides.”


And so it goes. The aforementioned gives you a PRETTI GOOD idea of how we wind up with Spenser Rapones and Nidal Hasans and other Guerrillas in our midst.

Have a great day.

52 Belgium is possibly the worst Euro country for nationalism (Netherlands second) because it's just always been overcome, it's not defensible, it's not cohesive. Weak national identity, like Canada.

Think of this as a physical weakness - for too long we've let these weaklings control the HEALTHY (countries that do have a national identity).

and this is not all ethnicity - Canada is a weakling/invalid like Belgium is. But the USA is NOT. There are various reasons - I think Canada if split could become several healthy nations, but they'd still have a "Belgium" in there.

72 Iran supposedly has some of the most advanced surveillance capabilities in the world, including tracking citizens through facial recognition software and mobile device and app monitoring.

One thing I have noticed when giving logging and tracking tools to software developers is that they don't know what to log, so they log all of the things, and when its 2 AM and its time to fix a system that fell over, the noise crowds out the signal. Even building dashboards requires a lot of work just to tune out the false positives which are legion, and after a short while people ignore them.

Now take stupid and lazy people who really don't have any skin in the game and you give them these tools that benefit someone other than themselves over causes they couldn't care less about.

Surveillance tools are great for the vendor, not so much for the end-user.

77 “What was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence,” Chomsky told a prying reporter. “According to US laws and norms, that yields a clean slate.”

No, Chomsky, it yields the end of the criminal prosecution, incarceration, and parole.

It does not give anybody a "clean slate".
The slate is still there with the writing still on it, commonly referred to by us mere mortals as a "criminal record," and in this case quite a public record.

Noam is excusing his own conscience for remaining friends with a man who is, by all accounts, a slimy piece of shit, ostensibly as repayment for work Epstein did to stop Chomsky's children from telling him how to spend his own money.

And I find that last part to be both hilarious and revealing.

Noam, the life-long anarcho-syndicalist commie, getting irritated that somebody would dare tell him what to do with his savings from his life's labor, and the profits he made from his books and other capitalist endeavors.

Let's assume that, against all odds, we somehow prevail against the Left in the political (or even military) struggle to come.

If we're ever going to reckon with the problems in this country, the upper ranks of the institutional Left will have to be dealt with quite harshly, obviously, and many of those in the lower ranks will have to be more or less shut out of public life.

But it would be a counterproductive mistake to let the need for containment of the threat to bleed into the desire for righteous vengeance - most of those lower-ranking functionaries just need to be neutralized, not punished, and the rank and file Democrat voter must be treated generously, though never allowed to vote again (or their children).

There is one major exception, though: the schoolteachers. For one thing, justice must be served, and they've done so much damage that they can't just be given a pass. And, they must be made an example to discourage future schoolteachers from crossing the line ever again. Canal work should feature prominently in this, and the professors should get the Final Knoutdown.

And with falling enrollments, its harder to justify growing the staff head count. So these mutants demanding more criminal immigrants that reproduce like guppies is a income stream protection racket.

126 Another victory lap for Buck:

A $5.8 billion Ford-backed battery plant in Kentucky has been idled just months after opening, leaving 1,600 workers unemployed, with the company citing slowing EV demand amid Trump’s elimination of EV tax credits. Governor Andy Beshear blamed the president, saying, “Those are 1,600 Kentuckians that lost their jobs solely because of Donald Trump pushing that big, ugly bill.”

That's right, Beshear wants Kentucky not to blame him for this big loser of a plant, or the free market, noo.... It's the ending of federal subsidies, and Trump is the Bad Man.

I'm sure that the Biden sycophants will say that was the plan all along to stage military gear in Afghanistan for just this reason.

As I mentioned earlier, the main culprits in this debacle are the local politicians. County mostly. They pulled such a con job on the rubes that the area will likely never recover unless Ford's decision to move their F-150 production down to the abandoned factory is finalized.

The local politicians made wild promises, fast tracked demolition of homes and farms to make room for an expanded interstate on/off ramp and the factories themselves. They literally killed an entire town and the surrounding area for this.

Years before Trump's second term.

Puppies have to learn somewhere how to show, to be with other dogs, to hear the show noises, to be gone over by a stranger.

You can take them to handling class or to a BPUP match. At a BPUP, there may be only about 10 or 20 million people there to dote over them and tell them how lovely they are.

She's fronting a narrative from the party, signaling moderation on an issue that they have no intention of moderating on. It's mouth sounds with no action behind it because she has no actual power.

"AOC, who is in the House, says that they do."

276 "... that describes a plot within the government to spy on the Nixon White House..."
- - - - - - - -
We're still finding out about Nixon's enemies to this day. The all-important "Deep Throat", Mark Felt, apparently was passed over for a higher role before he turned leaker.

The story is that, during the Watergate operation, some watchman found tape on the door and that lead to the discovery of the 'burglary'. At this point, we know how foul and polluted the deep state is, was, and shall forevermore be. So, would it be hard to imagine that there was a double agent that tipped off others about the operation? Or to push the blame onto Nixon?

And a side effect of all that was the election of Carter, "History's Worst Monster".

299 The Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism announced that Oxfam, the British-founded confederation of 21 independent NGOs, will cease operations in Gaza effective February 28, 2026, pursuant to a decision by the Ministry, which oversees the registration of humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza and Judea and Samaria.

The announcement follows a February 13, 2026, interview on Channel 4 News, in which Oxfam CEO Dr. Halima Begum made a series of public statements regarding internal dynamics within the organization. In the interview, she alleged that she was pressured to use the term “genocide" in relation to Gaza without sufficient factual basis. She also accused elements within the organization’s leadership of antisemitism and of maintaining a disproportionate and irrational focus on the crisis in Gaza compared to other humanitarian crises worldwide.

302 Putin's 'De-Nazification of Ukraine' not going well, it would appear.

In March 2022, President Zelenskyy announced the suspension of 11 political parties with alleged ties to Russia, including the Opposition Platform — For Life (OPZZh), Party of Shariy, Nashi, Opposition Bloc, and the Communist Party of Ukraine.
Continued Bans: In June 2024, the Our Land party was also banned, bringing to 19 the total number of parties banned since the full-scale invasion.
Martial Law: Parliamentary elections, originally scheduled for 2023, and presidential elections (2024) have been postponed until after the end of martial law.
Future Trends: Political analysis suggests a shift toward two main camps in the future: a "military" bloc (trusted armed forces and volunteers) and a "civilian" bloc, as well as the de-oligarchization (wth?) of party funding.

That motivation is a tiny, pesky thing, and it has protective coloration like a chameleon. It blends in with my furniture. Finding it and trapping it is a challenge!

It's "Lundi Gras" today, the Monday before Fat Tuesday. When I was a kid, we had that day off from school as well as the next. We just called it "the day before Mardi Gras." The current French-derived term (which may be a revival from much earlier) has only appeared in the last thirty years.

Some businesses here may be closed today, or will close early. Combined with it being Presidents' Day, it makes things confusing.

45 It rained early yesterday morning, and then the sun emerged and dried the streets. In the p.m. I took the chance to wash and finish polishing and waxing the car. The tires still need to be dolled up, and I should take out the floor mats and vacuum the interior, but the hard part is done.

We're going to have mid-80s as highs this week. Gah.

54 The latest preps for the home entertainment upgrades is complete.

As we use OTA broadcast for our local channels, Mrs VIA asked if splitting the attic antenna signal foe the second TV would cause signal degradation.

And we both suddenly realized, there is plenty of room in the attic to put a second antenna dedicated to the second TV.

So yesterday afternoon, with overcast, rain and low temperatures, it was a perfect time to install and complete the coax run for the second antenna.
So that part of the project is complete.

And the new TV is still on track for delivery in the second week of March.

I'll admit that the ubiquitousness of AI bothers me a lot. It seems like a perfect predator for modern laziness, credulity, and over-reliance on little-understood government and corporate systems.

I fully expect generative, LLM-interfaced AI to pollute and choke out intellectual and creative spaces, at great monetary and moral cost. I have a (small) hope that enough people will be aware of what's happening that we'll be able to preserve some remnant of reason.

Posted by: Trip at February 16, 2026 06:50 AM (ZAAkg)

71 Interesting question, VIA.
So I asked Brave AI.

To minimize degradation:

Use RG-6U coaxial cable for better signal retention.

Install a distribution amplifier (or powered splitter) after the antenna to boost the signal before splitting it to multiple TVs.

If signals are weak or inconsistent across TVs, consider a pre-amplifier mounted near the antenna to strengthen the signal before it enters the house.

Avoid using splitters with more ports than needed (e.g., don’t use a 4-way splitter for just two TVs).

Note: Some TVs have less sensitive tuners, so even with good signal, one TV might not pick up all channels. This is normal and unrelated to the antenna setup.

For the best results, run one continuous coaxial cable from the roof antenna to a central junction point (like an attic or wall plate), then use a powered distribution amplifier to send signals to each TV. This setup ensures reliable, high-quality reception across multiple TVs.

72 Morning peeps.

About Apple and Mac OS... IIRC back around 2010 or so, after Apple introduced their Power PC based server line, there were "issues." We had several of the rackmount versions. There was, at one time, a problem with chips on the mainboard that were corrupted, and had a secret backdoor installed by (who else) the Chinese that manufactured them.

It was not widespread. Because not many had adopted these things. And it didn't make much news.

But the fix was expensive.

77 "Install a distribution amplifier (or powered splitter) after the antenna to boost the signal before splitting it to multiple TVs."

I figured that each wall plate having it's own antenna with at best, one barrel connector between the antenna and the wall plate would be cheaper, and more physically solid than relying on the amp and splitters.

We'll see.

MacOS at one time got way less viruses than Windows.

That was never because MacOS was bullet-proof, but rather because Apple's users base was so low it wasn't a good plan for hackers to target MacOS because the hit rate would be minuscule compared to PCs.

As Apple has sold more and more Macs over the years, and added iOS with mobile devices, hackers have more and more targeted them. But it's still a little safer than Windows, due to their being less viruses & malware targeting MacOS in general.

80 "Ever heard of WiFi or CAT6?"

I'm using the cat 6 as backhaul for the WiFi 6 mesh system, with the main and five nodes around the house.

That is for the later to be procured home media streaming system.

The antennas are simply for the local OTA signals.

A spool of quad shield given as a gift, and the antennas on clearance really brings the price down.

And I'm not relying on tech get the signal to the TV as much.

Should be pretty stable over the long term.

In the attic.

Not visible to anyone outside the home.

And the first one has been in operation for almost two years now, with not a single issue.

And the second one is the same make/model, so I expect the same performance.

Probably overwrote the grub bootloader with the Windows bootloader, because Windows is obnoxious like that.

There are ways to solve that, but I see you've used the ultimate one, which is to nuke Windows completely. Fair enough.
